      Hello mark,              11 Jul 15 11:07, you wrote to me:                      ml> oh... as i haven't looked at MBSE yet, i was under the impression that        ml> all text was in language files with nothing hard coded... that would              No, not all of it. A majority of it, yes, but there's a lot of stuff that        isn't...               ml> mean that one should be able to edit them to include macros for        ml> various values... macros like the following list from my RA setup...        ml> these are available anywhere within RA so i set up a drop file (eg:        ml> door.sys, dorinfo1.bbs) template we can use for custom drop files and        ml> let it fill in all the values of the macros ;)              MBSE does not have a macro language. It has a few control codes for use with        display screens, but other than that, no. The only dropfiles it creates are        DOOR.SYS and DOOR32.SYS and that's hard-coded.               ml> yes, these macros do use the actual ^K and ^F characters so they are              If you want to see what control codes MBSE does have:              http://outpostbbs.ddns.net/mbseman/menus/control.html              --Sean              ...
