Easy: Use this program at your own risk. I am not responsible for
      any damage it may cause.

      Make a backup of your outbound dir before testing this script
      on your system to make sure it does what you want it to do.

FlowFix.rexx is intended for use with the Mebbsnet BBS program. It
scans your outbound directory making a list of *.FLO, *.HLO & *.CLO
files, then it searches in each of the files it finds for references
to *.MO*, *.TU*, *.WE*, *.TH*, *.FR*, *.SA*, *.SU* & *.TIC, then it
checks to see if there is a ^ carret symbol in front of the file
listed in the flow file, if not then it places one there. It won't
touch other files, only the mail flow files.

Well, I use Mebbsnet with Trapdoor as a Frontend, and to my surprise
Mebbsnet doesn't put the ^ carret infront of the mail packet filenames
listed in the FLO & HLO files. Because of the ^ carret not being there
trapdoor didn't delete the files it just sent. This is ok if you want
to keep megs of mail a day, not me. So this will fix your problem of
stale mail sitting in your outbound dir. (I Hope)

There is no Error Checking in this script, so if it fails to work
correctly then it won't exit cleanly.

The Code seems bug free, so if it exits for any reason it shouldn't
be the problem of the arexx program.

1: copy the file 'FlowFix.rexx' to your directory where you store
   your arexx scripts. (I put BBS related Arexx Utils in BBS:Rexx/)

2: Edit your Scripts/FidoIn.SCP file and put this line in as the last
   line in the script:

   rx BBS:Rexx/FlowFix.rexx
       |   |
       +---+-- The Path Name is where you stored the arexx script.

3: Store the FlowFix.Doc somewhere.

4: Spread this program to all Mebbsnet Sysops.

5: Make sure you have the commands Delete and Rename in your path
   somewhere.
