All control codes are filtered out of all .plan files. This prevents users from making mean little .plan bombs that can do things like remap your keyboard or lock up you screen. > > > >While we're at it, can these be sent in a mail message? > > They can, but those I've tried (sending them to myself) need you to press > space in my mail reader because it waits at the end of every screenful. > Ryan. > Oh you are just asking for trouble now aren't you. This is also not a good idea. If the mail system were local and just appended the messages to your mail file then this might be OK.... but in general mail transport systems use control codes to "work their magic" Heaven forbid you put the right code in the wrong place. And again, It is possible to do mean evil things via control/escape codes so many sites purposefully strip out these codes. ..::''''::.. .:::. .;'' ``;. .... ::::: :: :: :: :: ,;' .;: () ..: `:::' :: :: :: :: ::. ..:,:;.,:;. . :: .::::. `:' :: .:' :: :: `:. :: '''::, :: :: :: `:: :: ;: .:: : :: : : :: ,:'; ::; :: :: :: :: :: ::,::''. . :: `:. .:' :: `:,,,,;;' ,;; ,;;, ;;, ,;;, ,;;, `:,,,,:' :;: `;..``::::''..;' ========================================= - ``::,,,,::'' And everyone will wonder what you're up to.
