Jim-
I too am having a little trouble getting Whap going … probably a matter of
not reading correctly or something.
1. When I added a forum … the very first time I called the program went to
DEFAULTS and messed around for awhile … but then just seem to sit there at a
! prompt and did nothing more. Couldn't abort or hangup so I finally just
dumped the program.
When I called back again it didn't go to defaults this time, but went to the
new forum (Gamers) Started capturing the Section names and did okaysr'Wt
locked up on the Library NamM. I logged off and found the Gamers.SEC file was
empty so deleted it and tried again with the same problem!
2. In AmigaTech when I logged in to capture new messages .. it sent a string
(too fast for me to read) and I got a 'Prompt Character not defined' message
from CIS (couldn't read the rest). It started captruing headers but didn't
capture any new messages.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Art,
I had the same problem the first time Whap! called CIS.
After you called the first time, Whap! created a file on your disk called
Txxxx (the xxxx is the baud rate that you called at). Delete this file, then
the next time you call, Whap! will go through the setting-up phase again and
save a new Txxxx file.
One thing I've noticed that Whap! doesn't check, is that you may have
defaults *in_the_forums* set differently from your CIS defaults. Although Whap!
set my CIS defaults in COMMAND mode, my AmigaTech defaults were not set that
way, and it got confused when it got a different prompt than it expected. BUT I
was able to change the forum defaults while online with Whap!
As for your second problem, it sounds like you had the QSN gadget selected
instead of the RTN, if you wanted messages instead of headers. And as far as
the "Prompt Character not defined" message, it also does that for me, and since
the program handles it quickly I'm assuming that it's *supposed* to do that.
