Okay kids....

I was editing the simple.src file that came with synchronet and I need
it to do something....

When the user enters the menu option it makes them press enter after...
how do I get it to act like a hot key??

Thanx

Joe

Joe,

Your code looks something like this right now:

getstrupr 10
crlf
pause_reset

# Write command to log file
logstr

# Commands

cmdstr C
exec_bin chat_sec
end_cmd

cmdstr CHAT
exec_bin chat_sec
end_cmd
--------------------------------------------------
See where it says getstrupr? That's where you problems begin. This function sits around waiting for the user to enter a string that is 10 characters long and wont do much till they hit enter. The fix? Very simple. Look at my sample code below:

GETCMD "CMUGPREILX\r"

COMPARE_KEY C
IF_TRUE
exec_bin "chat_sec"
GOTO TOP
END_IF


COMPARE_KEY M
IF_TRUE
GOTO MESSAGE
GOTO TOP
END_IF

--------------------------------------------------
Ok, the GETCMD "CMUGPREILX" <--- This says the user can only pick these keys from the menu. And the COMPARE_KEY checks for each letter that you specified above. If it comes back true, it runs what ever you want it to, if not, it doesn't do anything at all. Also, when using this, you can ONLY use 1 letter per menu item... Let me know if this helped you any. :)

I had posted a message earier about trying to sercomvent the lgon process based on command shells

I tried this

compare_str useron.shell equil server
if_true goto logon_event

else

end_if

it compiles nicely :) but that's it.

it does nothing.

I edit the logon.src and put it right after where it asks U where U heard about the BBS... line 59'ish

do I have bad logic??

Joe
