 DM> What are the contents of your ctrl/freqit.ini file?

; Global Keys:
; Dirs:       Comma-separated list of BBS directories to allow FREQing from.
; SecureDirs: As with Dirs, but only if it is a secure session.
; MaxFiles:   The max files that can be FREQed in a single request.
;
; Magic words...
; Each section name is a magic word.  Magic sections support the following:
; Dir: REQUIRED.  The file directory to search for the file.
; Secure: Boolean... if true, only available on secure sessions.
; Match: A wildcard to identify the file.  The most recently uploaded match
;        to this will be returned.

Dirs=uploads
;SecureDirs=
MaxFiles=10

[ALLFILES]
Dir=uploads
Secure=No
Match=pal*.zip

The "uploads" name is the Internal Code of that file area, which does 
exist, and contains files that match "pal*.zip".

Does capitalization/case matter, I wonder?  This is SBBS running on 
Linux.

Thank you for any help.
