Hello all--I'm trying to upgrade my defunct BBS from 3.16 to 3.17. Everything is working all and looking nice, save for one fairly important issue. In posting messages or sending mail, /S instead aborts the message like /ABT would rather than saving it. There's a weird workaround: if I edit the message first, such as with /E, then it will save. But that isn't convenient for the long haul. Any advice? I'd rather not revert to the old exec directory, as 3.17 seems like it has some nice improvements. I'm running 3.17 on a VM running Win XP. I'd appreciate advice anyone has! Thanks--B.J.

Well, I think I figured out my own problem. I was still using my original account, which had no external editor set. I switched to FSEditor (which is the default for new accounts), and now everything's dandy. Guess that's what I get for unplugging things for a few years. --B.J.
