   There are plenty of examples where I skim messages and miss the point too!   
      
   Sorry if I did that this time! :)   
      
    IJ> I would like to be notified when someone presses a menu feature... LIKE   
    IJ> when a New User registers as a user.  For example I can be notified   
    IJ> every time someone access a specific Door or whatever..   
      
   Yes you can do that and there are a few different ways to do that as well.   
      
   Lets say you want an e-mail sent to you whenever a user runs the door LORD and   
   you have a LORD menu item in your door menu.  It might look like this:   
      
   Display Text | (L)ORD   
   HotKey       | L   
      
   Action List   
   (DD) Execute external program                      lord.bat   
      
   So what you could do is TAB so you can edit that Action List and when the   
   "(DD) Execute..." line is highlighted you can /I to insert an action before   
   it.    
      
   Press ENTER on the new action that was created, then select "Command" and pick   
   "(MX) Post text file to base".   
      
   In the "Data" field set it to:   
   runlord.txt;1;Mystic BBS;IB Joe;LORD has been executed   
      
   Then exit out and save it.   
      
   Mystic should now e-mail "IB Joe" with whatever text is in "runlord.txt" in   
   your DATA folder.  This will happen any time someone selects the LORD command   
   (hotkey L) on the menu.   
      
   I hope that helps I may not be the best at explaining, but I will try to help   
   you through it.  Your "Menu Command/Action list" in the menu editor would now   
   look something like this:   
      
   Display Text | (L)ORD   
         HotKey | L   
      
   Action List   
   (MX) Post text file to base              runlord.txt;1;   
   (DD) Execute external program            lord.bat   
      
   In other words, Mystic will do whatever is in the Action List anytime the L   
   key is pressed on that menu, and your Action List tells it to e-mail you and   
   then run the door.   
      
   ... I don't have the time for a hobby. I have a computer.
