    From Alan Ianson@1:153/757 to All on Sat May 4 01:20:50 2019
    Hello All,

    I have configured one area for QWK (or AGNET) on my BBBS following the instructions in the sysop.txt but I can't figure out how to import an inbound QWK file, or export a REP file to the QWK hub.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    You can read more about QWK with the help screens: main menu->(H)elp->(S)earch->(qwk)...

    Hope this helps :)

    Take care,
    Janis

    I suspect this is what I need to do.

    I can use those commands to up/download mail packets to the BBS and it works well for me. Maybe I need to create a different user for those QWK packets from
    the QWK hub?

    You can read more about QWK with the help screens: main menu->(H)elp->(S)earch->(qwk)...

    Yep, I've been looking in there.. :)

    I'm close now I think but I'm missing a detail somewhere.. I'll keep looking.

    Makes sense...

    I could have more info in the docs, not sure. It's been a while since I had to find more info about those commands.

    I'm close now I think but I'm missing a detail somewhere.. I'll keep looking.

    Hope you find what you need... :)

    Take care,
    Janis
