Okay - you ended up with one rather than two packet messages due to the
missing /ex at the end of the first.

Recommend you Kill #8 in the PBBS, make the changes in the text file and
enter it again.. You should end up with two Packet messages when you do this
exercise. Won't take long to get the hang of it.

 But before you do that check the following KPC3 commands in the manual and
see if you can set them like this:

PBFORWARD NONE EVERY 0
(We'll change that one later)

PBHEADER ON

PBHOLD OFF

PBKILL OFF

PBPERSON OFF

PBREVERSE ON

PBTEXT W CENTRAL FLORIDA NTS MAIL DROP

HTEXT #WCFLA.FL.USA.NOAM

We'll be changing some of them as we learn more about what we are doing!

I have received an email from Gary.
I have also followed your directions.
I built two messages in the edit mode of Winpack. I then brought up my Pbbs
Kg4fcd-1. I went back to the edit mode and clicked on send. I then re-
connected to my pbbs kg4fcd-1 and this is what I found:

C KG4FCD-1
cmd:*** CONNECTED to KG4FCD-1

I only used two of the messages for test.
Did I do it correctly?
