Chad,

Thanks for responding so quickly.


 CJ> To only display the last message in one message area, you can use the
 CJ> following code:

 CJ> ```
 CJ> var msgs = bbs.scan_msgs("LOCAL.SYSOP", SCAN_READ, LATEST);

I tried the code snippet you posted and got the error

 newscan.js line 3: ReferenceError: LATEST is not defined

The reference library only shows the following:

bbs.scan_msgs([sub-board=current] [,mode=SCAN_READ] [,find]) 

I'm running a relatively new SBBS, 3.20 from a couple of weeks ago.
