Subj : Mystic NS Menu Option

Hey g00r00,

I'm trying to setup a 'send NS menu option' from outside the BBS (command
line).

First question, when the NS option is used it uses theme lines 179 and 180. I
modified those lines so it won't clear the screen, it just XY to a specific
area and prints the broadcast text. Is there a way to not 'restore' the
screen after message is received? It seems to repaint the previous screen
(erasing the message). I currently use a few |DE to pause. Anyway to just
leave the text and let the user navigate the menus (which will clear it
anyway)?

Second, while trying to send NS from the command line, im looking at MPS
files bulletin.mps which refers to ParamStr(1) and menucmd.mps which refers
to ProgParams. I cant seem to pass the string into the program when using
mystic -Uxxx -Pxxx -Xmenucmd "0;Testing". I'm sure I am doing this incorrectly.

I suppose my question is how do you pass a string argument into the MPX file so
it can be ran externally. (I want to build a broadcast system).

Thanks for all your help!
