YES!!!  I was have this problem with each new distribution.  Not real sure
why it happens but I did find a solution that appears to work quite well.

>ANy ideas anyone?

Of course!  What I did was change that execute line so that the programs being 
launched are run at that time.  It means that unbatchfc and rnews and uuxqt
must complete before uucico can finish but that does not seem to cause any
problems on amigash.  I have been meaning to dig back into this and see if
I can figure out how execute is screwing up.  I belive I started seeing this
problem when I switched to 1.3 amigados.  At that time I posted a question
about the execute routine and was told that some of the information used is
different from 1.2 to 1.3.  Was not told what the differences were since
this was stuff apprently verbotten to the normal programmer. :-)
