      10 Jul 15 11:13, you wrote to All:               AI> When listing files the upload date is displayed and I'd like to change        AI> that to the file date on disk. Can that be done? Maybe in the language        AI> file?              remote access has three dates stored in its database for each file...               actual file date        upload date        last download date              when i pull files en mass, sometimes i have to adjust their file dates       otherwise they get the date i downloaded them... that generally depends on how       i download them (eg: http ftp etc)... i've got a script that i run that sets       the file date to the newest file in the archive... then when i import them       into the filebase, they have the proper "upload" date... lastly i have a       process that sets the last download date to the upload date so they don't show       any weird dates...              every time i look at a different bbs package, i hope to find at least all the       existing functionality i currently have plus maybe something new ;)               AI> I'm also wondering about msg numbers displayed on the top right when        AI> reading messages.

Should        AI> I look in the language file for that too?              there's probably a language macro for that value that you can add to the       prompt... i'm guessing that MBSE has macros to access the various values for       the current user's record along with their current location in the message and       file bases... it seems to be a pretty standard function... the real question       is how complete is the list ;)              )\/(ark              ... 80.
