    I imagine there is and I also imagine it's a pretty basic thing to do to have an MPS call menu commands and ask user for text entry ... I haven't written a line of code since I was in my early 20s.. I'm almost 50 now and it's
    definatly not like riding a bike lol.. I tried.. but I'm lost now..

    In the MYSTIC\DOCS\MYSTIC.TXT file, under the menu types, it has this for the MP menu:

    Command : MP
    Description : Posts a message to the currently selected message base.
    Optional Data : </TO:> </SUBJ:> </ADDR:> </F>

    /TO:<user_name> - Sets the TO field of the message.
    /SUBJ:<subject> - Sets the SUBJECT field of the message.
    /ADDR:<netaddr> - Sets the netmail address field.
    /F - Forces the user to post the message.

    The text supplied with the /TO and /SUBJ options should
    have any spaces replaced by the "_" character. An
    example menu command for this might be:

    Command : MP
    Data : /TO:some_user /SUBJ:hello_there! /F

    The above would post a message to "some user" with
    the subject of "hello there!". The user would not
    be able to abort posting this message because the
    /F option was supplied.


    So, if you were to write and MPL, it might look like this:

    MenuCmd('MP','/TO:some_user /SUBJ:hello_there! /ADDR:21:1/120')

    No, Mystic doesn't support file attachments. Sorry.

    The best I can suggest is maybe doing some sort of conversion like uuencode
    and appending that to the message. Then the recipient will need to do a uudecode to recreate the file.
