 zh> First question, when the NS option is used it uses theme lines 179 and

 zh> (which will clear it anyway)?

Not really, because those messages can be shown at any time which would distort
the user's screen if Mystic wasn't able to restore the screen afterwards.

What are you trying to accomplish where you'd not want the screen restored?

 zh> refers to ProgParams. I cant seem to pass the string into the program

It looks like you are not giving it a menu command to run and you need to
enclose the entire option in quotations if there are spaces.  I'm not in a
place where I can try it or reference the command line syntax but it should be
something close to:

"-Xmenucmd NS 0;Testing"

I have it on the "todo" list to add a "broadcast" option to Nodespy so you
can send messages from the command line: "nodespy.exe broadcast This is a
message!"  Although I may add this to "mystic.exe" instead.
