Hello g00r00!

That was a error when typing it into the message... I do use the -L in the command to run from the command line. They say the mind is the second thing to go... I'll be damned if I remember what the first was... ;)

I just upgraded to a48, at least for my test system here, and it seems to be working now. It was strange that it wasn't in a47.

I threw together a quick little mpl to test it, as I've modified my bbslist.mps. :)

Begin
  ClrScr;
  WriteLn('|CR');
  If Local Then WriteLn('Local Login');
  Else WriteLn('Remote Login');
End.

Now it shows 'Local Login'.

 gr> sudo ./mystic -l -ug00r00 -pMyPassword "-xbbslist bbslist"

You use the same password that I do!! ;) BTW, I don't run Mystic with sudo.

 BP>> Ooooo. Didn't know about the others on here. So, when it's a

 BP>> Looks like I have some more playing to do. :)

 gr> Probably depends on the version you're using but yes I think so.

I've edited some code here, but haven't tested it to see if it does. I'll let you know. :)

Thank you,

Black Panther
