- Description
- @X03
- To save time and money, a common practice is to transfer mail packets
- to and from a bulletin board system. The messages can then be read and
- replied to off-line. PCBoard will create a QWK mail packet when using
- this command. In addition, the REP file can be uploaded with this
- command when using the U subcommand.
-
- If you do not use any command line parameters when executing the QWK
- command, you will be asked if you want to upload or download a mail
- packet. Pick the appropriate response.

- Examples
- @X03
- To download a QWK packet using the Z protocol, the following would be
- entered:
- @X0E
- QWK D Z
- @X03
- If there are replies to the QWK packet they will be stored in a REP
- file. This file needs to be uploaded for the replies to be posted on
- the bulletin board system. The following command would prepare PCBoard
- to upload the REP packet:
- @X0E
- QWK U
