    NB>> I saw that you had done that for me... I did check in there to see how   
    NB>> things were set. One place that still flies by for me, too fast to be   
    NB>> seen, is the listing of what the slash commands are...   
      
    MH> That might be due to that menu being ANSI.  Will take a look at that.   
      
   At the main menu, I enter the command... it does something, but I'm   
   right back at the main menu without having seen anything except a   
   blur... ANSI isn't usually an issue for me... if it's only one screen   
   worth, I'd think I should be able to view it...   
      
    NB>> Do you have any way on the bbs to telnet into weather underground to   
    NB>> check the weather for other areas...? One bbs that I've been using for   
    NB>> that has been down the last few days, maybe they lost power there...   
    NB>> another seems to have it, but it doesn't work for me there...   
      
    MH> My BBS is a "classic" at this point, with no fancy modern things like   
    MH> outbound telnet or anything.      
      
   Ah.  Ok, not a problem...  :)  In the meantime, I have access again to   
   the other bbs...  :)  And at least your classic bbs has telnet inbound   
   access...  ;)   
      
    MH> The Weather Underground forecast information on my BBS was done by me   
    MH> writing a script that telnets, captures, formats text, etc, and saves   
    MH> the files.  I did that a long time ago - just for the local area.  The   
    MH> BBS itself doesn't do any of it.    
      
   Oh, ok... :)  I wondered about that... :)

   ... For real sponge cake, borrow all ingredients.
