Description
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 specify any subcommands when executing the command you will be asked if you will be downloading or uploading a mail packet. Choose the appropriate response for the action your desire.
Examples
To download a QWK packet using the Z protocol, the following would be entered:
QWK D Z
