  • Forced Message Base

    From Captain Obvious@21:1/157 to All on Mon Jan 20 21:46:14 2020
    What's the best way to have a forced message base in the prelogin menu?

    Currently I use three commands. Change to the correct message group, change
    to correct area, then the MR command with N for New in optional data. Is
    there an easier way?

    My brian is drawing a blank right now. But outside of what you're doing or using a couple lines of MPL script that might be the best way.

    It *shouldn't* be the best way, but it might be. I'll make sure I have something on the TODO list to make it able to be done with a single command.

    Do you need a message base or just a display file? If you just need a display file onlyonce.mps would likely do what you want.

    Message base for ease of use. Thought about onlyonce or maybe using the bulletins but a forced read message base is what I am looking for. I have the base set as mandatory so that takes care of it and how I am doing it should work just thought there might be an easier way.
