    Verbose Description:  There are plenty of mods out there to enable
colored message titles.  Actually anyone who knows even the slightest
bit of C code could figure out how to enable it by themselves.  This is
for the few novices that don't.  You'll also clean up some source too,
that you really didn't need in my opinion.


STEP ONE:
  Backup your source code.

STEP TWO:
    Load up Msgbase.C and search for "void inmsg".  Once down there,
 page down a little until you find the below code, then delete the
 marked lines.

=  nl();
=  helpl=6;
-   if (okansi()) {                           /* Delete from here */
-    prt(2,"Title: ");
-    mpl(60);
-    inputl(title,60);
-  } else {
-    pl("       (---=----=----=----=----=----=----=----=----=----=----=----)");
-    outstr("Title: ");
-    inputl(title,60);
-  }                                          /* Down to here */
=  if ((title[0]==0) && (needtitle)) {
=    pl("Aborted.");
=    m.stored_as=0xffffffff;

STEP THREE:
   In that same exact space, insert the following few marked lines.

=  nl();
=  helpl=6;
+  prt(2,"Title: ");                            /* Insert from here */
+  ro[0]=0;
+  inli(title,ro,70,1);
=  if ((title[0]==0) && (needtitle)) {            /* Down to here */
=    pl("Aborted.");
=    m.stored_as=0xffffffff;


STEP FOUR:
   Search down some more until you find the part that allows users
 to change message titles while editing a message.  It looks like
 the following.  Once again, delete the marked lines.

=       if (stricmp(s,"/TI")==0) {
=         savel=0;
=         helpl=26;
-         if (okansi()) {                     /* Delete from here */
-           prt(2,"Title: ");
-           mpl(60);
-           inputl(title,60);
-         } else {
-           pl("       (---=----=----=----=----=----=----=----=----=----=----=----)");
-           outstr("Title: ");
-           inputl(title,60);                  /* Down to here */
=         }
=         pl("Continue...");

STEP FIVE:
    Now, once again in the same exact space, insert the following
  marked lines.

=       if (stricmp(s,"/TI")==0) {
=         savel=0;
=         helpl=26;
+         prt(2,"Title: ");                   /* Add from here */
+         ro[0]=0;
+         inli(title,ro,70,1);                /* Down to here */
=         pl("Continue...");

STEP SIX:
    Save and recompile your source code.  Very basic, like I said, most
  people probably won't even need the mod.  The idea will be useful to
  the experts, and the mod to the novices.  Until later, have fun
  and Merry Christmas (Mod was written during holiday season).
