      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 1:129/215 b172950f       REPLY: 1:317/3 34329dab       TZUTC: -0400        BP> I hope you and your family are doing well.               Thanks!               BP> 1. Would be possible to add a function in MPL similar to the IsNumber        BP> function i n FreePascal?              function isNumber (s: string) : boolean;       begin        isNumber := str2int(s) > 0 or s = '0';       end;               BP> 2. Not sure about how possible this is, but could a text box, such as        BP> the vertic al, horizontal, etc, be used to ask a user a question and        BP> have them type in a re sponse? Such as:        BP>         BP> Enter your BBS Name        BP> [ ]        BP>         BP> And be able to save the response as a string?              Yes you can use the box MCI code to drop a box and then use the input to get       the input. Or display an ANSI to draw the box, whatever you'd like and the       use input to get the input. Or you could use any of the box/input classes to       draw form-like things using MPL. There are lots of ways to do it.              There is an example of one way (although it might be overkill for what you       just asked) in testinput.mps that comes with Mystic.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/02/12 (Windows/64)        * Origin: Sector 7 | Mystic WHQ (1:129/215)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 114/705 120/340 457 123/10 120 131 129/215       SEEN-BY: 129/305 154/10 30 40 50 700 203/0 220/70 80 90 221/6 226/17       SEEN-BY: 226/30 100 227/114 201 702 229/101 310 424 426 452 550 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 981 1016 1017 240/5832 249/206 307 317 400 250/5       SEEN-BY: 250/8 267/800 280/464 282/1038 292/854 298/25 305/2 3 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 340/1000 342/200 633/280 770/1 3634/12       PATH: 129/215 154/10 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
