Schedule dialog                           Manual page 147, 155
 This dialog box allows you to schedule times when Commander
 Mail will check for new mail and send any messages in the Out
 box.  You must load mcidrivr.exe into the background to use
 this feature.

 To use this feature, enter the times that you want to
 send/receive mail into the dialog box.  For example, the
 following dialog tells Commander Mail to send and receive
 mail at 10:00 am and 12:00 am.

               | ( ) On Demand          |
               | (.) Use Schedule Below |
               |   10:00a      12:00a   |
               |     :  a        :  a   |

 Time fields will be 24-hour if there is no 'a' or 'p' at the
 end of the field.

On Demand
  When this radio button is set, Commander Mail will call MCI
  only when you ask it to.

Use Schedule
  When this radio button is set, Commander Mail will call MCI
  at the times you've provided.


Loading the Driver
  You can load the driver (mcidrivr.exe) into memory so you
  can send and receive files in the background (this will use
  about 95K of memory).  Type mcidrivr at the DOS prompt to
  load the driver:

          C>mcidrivr

  You can also send messages to the driver while it's loaded
  in memory by typing "mcidrivr" followed by one of the
  following switches:

        Switch    Mnemonic    Operation
          /N      Now         Send and receive mail now.
          /A      Abort       Abort the current send/receive
                              session.
          /X      Exit        Abort the current session and
                              remove driver from memory.
          /S      Status      Sets DOS ERRORLEVEL to 0 if the
                              driver is not doing anything.
                              Sets to 1 if sending/receiving
                              mail.
          /D      Disable     Disable the driver.
          /E      Enable      Enable the driver.
