I believe you, but don't know why that's important here.

That's not super difficult, but not as easy as "FR:filename" in the 
subject line of a netmail, IMHO.

But wouldn't that just create an empty (0 byte) .dlo file which would 
not be pointing at the .req file?  Normally a .?lo file is a text 
listing of the actual filename/pkt/.?ut to be sent.  In this case the 
..dlo file wouldn't have that info.



.... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
