Now, why in the world would it do that? I can go to theãchat menu and all, and get into multinode chat and all that jazz. But the Userãregistry option I've added doesn't work from there.

It sounds like you're not using the versionãthat came with the v3.10 beta which includes the following change:ãfrom:ã chat_sectionãto:ã exec_bin chat_secãã digital manã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

Re: Chat_sec.srcã By: Digital Man to MysticOne on Tue Nov 26 2002 11:10 amãããOkay, now the mystery has been solved. I'm using a modified version of theãRenegade shell (I changed the menus, some of the commands, etc.,) because Iãdidn't really like the all-in-one approach to the classic menus. Well, forãsome reason, the Renegade shell still points to chat_section, rather than theãexec_bin chat_sec that the classic has. So *that* was the problem ... theãcmdkey was going in just fine, but since I couldn't load up that module, itãdidn't ever get a chance to actually do anything with it. :) Thanks for yourãhelp, and everyone else's help too :)ãã -- MysticOneãã---ã þ Synchronet þ ~-._.-= The Realm of Dreams =-._.-~ <bbs.mysticone.com>ã
