    OK. let's talk Baja:ãããExcerpt from Default.scr.ã~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ããcmdkey /Uã userlist_allã end_cmdããcmdkey Xã xtrn_sectionã end_cmdããcmdkey Zã print "\r\nContinuous New Message Scan\r\n"ã msg_cont_scanã end_cmdããcmdkey /Zã msg_cont_scan_allã end_cmdãããWhere would I find the source code for userlist_all or xtrn_section orãmsg_cont_scan etc?ããHow much (if at all) can those sections be altered? Im not a 'C'ãprogrammer but more like a middlen batch programmer. I can follow theãlogic (mostly) of a src file but writing it isn't likely. I can cut andãpaste from manuals and your messages but I lack the fundamentalãunderstanding to write code, yet.ããAny discussion on this topic? Have many of you altered your default.srcãto any extant?ã---ã þ OLXWin 1.00b þ Bad command or file name!

I started with Rob originalãdefault.src and with cut and paste from a few others, and repeated tweaks itãhas ended up where it is. I do belive I sent you a copy of the src did I not?ã ÑímmæKní€kîrããã---ã þ Synchronet þ telnet://talamasca-bbs.com http://www.talamasca-bbs.comã

All ofãthese ID I believe are in the .INC files (SBBSDEFS.INC includes all the INCãfiles except the FILE_IO.INC) which are located in your ..\CTRL dir. I'veãnever tried changeing these, but that's where I'd look first.ãBetaãã---ã þ Synchronet þ telnet://talamasca-bbs.com http://www.talamasca-bbs.comã

However it isn't commented on as you know whatãyour doing. On the other hand... I need comments to find the logic. LikeãI said I am not a programmer but baja src files are rather easy toãfollow.ããI have another default.src file that starts a donators menu from theãmain screen using a period as the hot key.ããThe little bit of back and forth over the bulletin program showed meãbetter than the docs could how exec_xtrn works. Sometimes examples plusãthe authors explanation will clear the fog.ããI hope my questions are not _so_ elementary that you find them unworthy.ããAnd thanks for all you and the others have done so far.
