   Hello, Jim!   
      
   Wednesday July 10 2024 23:21, from Jim Howarth -> Nil Alexandrov:   
      
    NA>> Why would you need to use a script to do a simple action?   
      
    JH> Its actually quite handy when you have multiple networks with multiple   
    JH> passwords and addresses.   
      
   What could possibly go wrong when "have multiple networks with multiple..."?   
   haha   
      
    JH> It basically pulls up a menu that allows me to poll each hub   
    JH> individually or I can poll all uplinks etc, start an areafix/filefix   
    JH> email that inserts the hub address, then password into the subject,   
    JH> then brings you directly into the body.   
      
   I'm a die-hard text-mode GoldED user for about since 90x, and we have macros,   
   not a script with templates. Here's an example.   
   ```AddressMacro af5020-1042, AreaFix, 2:5020/1042, "******", K/S, Dir```   
   Templates will help me to choose the right AKA and the stuff. All I need to do   
   is to write a netmail to user af5020-1042, for examplem and the rest will be   
   filled automagically. And yes, I know AreaFix syntax so far.   
      
    JH> It also Merges a nodelists just because it was handy while I was   
    JH> setting up some other things.   
      
   What do you merge nodelist with?   
   How do you receive new nodelists? Fileechoes? Wget? Manual?   
      
    JH> Ultimately, even tho the menu had a command to switch to the netmail   
    JH> area, it couldn't due to a lack of access due to a change I made in   
    JH> error.  So it just defaulted to the area I was in.   
      
   Have you troubleshoot the issue with your script yet?   
      
    JH> Hah..  I'll stick with my script.  Bugs happen.. this one just   
    JH> happened to be public lol.   
      
   What's your scripting language of choice here?   
      
    NA>> P.S. What is that BASH echotag about?   
    JH> Its the Bash Shell Echo on Fidonet.   
      
   Cygwin bash? hahaha   
      
   Best Regards, Nil
