  • A rather silly MECCA problem

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Wednesday, March 04, 2009 23:34:57
    Hello, All.

    I am trying to stop the "You have nnnn minutes left for this call." line from disappearing from the screen before my main menu is loaded up. I use a straight ANSI menu screen for my main menu and it does clear the screen before it's displayed. This problem is appearing upon login. After viewing the bulletins (a fairly stock BULLETIN.MEC), I call MAILCHEK.MEC:

    [white]Do you wish to check for mail [[Y,n]? [gray menu]yn| [choice]n[enter][quit]
    [msg_checkmail][enter]

    But while I get the Enter prompt, the line still is barely visable before the main menu shows up. Where could I put an Enter command in? If such a command is available, should I put it in ENGLISH.MAD?

    Thanks,
    Sean

    Thanks! Sometimes, the simplest fixes are the hardest to find. :)
