That essentially entails creating a command shell (that's the easy part), a fullscreen message reader, and a file lister. I'm also going to be making a command shell for oBV/2 (that one I can already do). Is there a way to "theme" ansi's that are outside of the command shell, based on whatever the current command shell is? For instance if a user does the oBV/2 command shell I want a different ansi displayed for the message reading header than if the user was on say the DOS command shell. > Well when the message reading code is "externalized", it can be modified > and > extended to do all kinds of stuff (like that). This brings me to a question about user id's. Are they permanent or can they change when there's a deletion from the user list and you pack it? One way I was thinking about storing user settings is to have separate directories for each user based on user number. I know in mystic there's a separate user number and permidx (so in my case you would want to use the permanent index). --- Synchronet 3.12b-Win32 NewsLink 1.83 .
