    I'm doing a light bar read prompt (saw one on another board, and had to haveit).. Similar to a logon matrix, the command is highlighted and kept track ofwith a variable (i for instance)... the variable is then passed along to aswitch statement, which in turn will pass the correct command key "A,B,C" alongto the bbs to preform the command. My question, I need the switch to return the appropriate command key to thebbs, what function is best suited to do this? i.e. return str (where str is thecommand key needed to do what is needed)Thanks :) z --- Synchronet The Impact Matrix (impactmatrix.darktech.org)

In most of the source files that came with SBBS, Idid not see any variables initialized, so I assumed the default for anythingdeclared was off, or zero, save for things such as "str", which are usedinternally.
