    g0> This is a little confusing because Mystic actually looks for "flag1X"   
    g0> where X is the uppercased flag (since all flags are displayed as upper   
    g0> cased in Mystic).  So it would actually be "flag1A.ans" in Unix-based   
    g0> versions.   
      
   Ah that explains it, thanks.   
      
    g0> This isn't consistant with other things though, so I think in the next   
    g0> A47 build I am going to change it so that its "flag1a.ans" all   
    g0> lower-cased unless you and/or other think that I shouldn't.   
      
   Yes I'd go for all lower case or allow for either flag1A.ans or flag1a.ans   
      
   Does file extn case sensitivity also apply? e.g. file.ans vs file.ANS or does   
   Mystic not mind?   
      
    g0> To do something like ALT+S Linux you would use the NP menu command. If   
    g0> you have SysOp ACS it will allow you to force a user into a split screen   
    g0> private chat. If you are not a SysOp you can page a user and they can   
    g0> decide if they want to chat with you. The template for this is userchat.   
      
   OK understand thanks, I can see how that works from a within a logged in to   
   the BBS scenario.   
      
    g0> As you mentioned there is also NodeSpy if you want to run something that   
    g0> is entirely outside of the BBS.  This really needs a lot more work but   
    g0> its not as big of a priority for me right now as adding the online user   
    g0> editor would be...   
      
   Adding Alt-S aka NP menu command to the snoop task bar would be nice as/when   
   you have time.   
      
    g0> Its never going to work exactly like the Windows version but we can get   
    g0> it a little closer than it is today!   
      
   Thanks for the reply and info :)
