It's mentioned in whatsnew.txt from back in the       development of 1.08              [snip]              + Added the ability to execute an MPL program instead of the command line        for a protocol. By starting your command line with a !, you can have        Mystic run a MPE program. For example:               send Command: !test %1 %2 %3               The above would execute test.mpe from your scripts directory and pass        the results of the %1 %2 %3 protocol MCI codes as command parameters to        the MPL program. Keep in mind that if you do use this to execute some        type of protocol, you must set the DSZLOG environment variable yourself        and have it point to the current node's temp directory as xfer.log. Mystic        will also create an xfer.bat or xfer.sh (depending on operating system)       which        can also be executed.              [snip]              Kerr Avon [Blake's 7] 'I'm not expendable, I'm not stupid and I'm not going'       avon[at]bbs.nz | bbs.nz | fsxnet.nz               --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/12/24 (Linux/64)        * Origin: Agency BBS | Dunedin, New Zealand | agency.bbs.nz (3:770/100)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 114/705 120/340 123/120 131       SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/7715 154/10 218/700 840 220/70 226/17 30 100       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 111 112 113 206 275 317 400 424 426 428 452       SEEN-BY: 229/470 550 664 700 250/5 8 266/512 267/800 282/1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 298/25 305/2 3 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1 3 100 340 772/210 220 230       PATH: 770/100 1 317/3 229/426           |
