Now ... enter the STQ in FrontDoor ...

Grab yourself a copy of XROBOT from www.defsol.com or elsewhere. Make sure
it's version 4.x (4.10). Install the executable somewhere in your path.
There's an OS/2 version as well if you need it.

From the command-line, type: XRDOS QSPOOLMAKE ?

This command is used to create a "Spool Entry" in the FrontDoor Static Queue.
Once such an entry is created, FD will send anything found in that directory,
to its destination.

You can specify a filemask, including C:\THEPATH\*.*
The filemask is non-recursive, it will not traverse sub-directories.

You can specify a recipient for the spool directory.

You can set the status bits on the spool directory. This can be used to set
the behavior of FD and the level of emergency of the delivery. I.e. an entry
can be set as HOLD, which means the remote system must call in for the files
to be sent, or the entry can be set to a high priority to make FD deliver
asap, etc.

There are some other options you can use to alter the spool entry too, but
these are the basics.

So anything that gets dropped into the specified directory will be acted upon
when FD is started.
