    Ok, let me preface this by saying I am not sure what I want to do will work
    or is possible.. In the prelogin menu, instead of it going to auto message
    etc. I want to gosub to a menu which will show the user a menu like:

    1. Automessage
    2. One Liners
    3. Scan for new messages
    4. Scan for new files
    5. InterBBS oneliners
    6. Quit to BBS

    Now when you hit 6 to quit to the BBS I want it to return to the prelogin
    menu where it will then check for email and drop the user at the main prompt.
    I have tried GS to prelogin and it works great! But when I try to quit out of this menu I have tried GR to return to a previous gosub, and it just sits at the menu sent to, the only way out is a Go to the main menu. What am I doing wrong? When I choose to return to the BBS Login I chose GR as the quit item, and put prelogin in data, that didn't work. I tried GT and put prelogin but
    it sends it right back to the current menu.. Any ideas??

    You can very easily do exactly what you want. Mystic's menu system is fantastic (of course I am biased but...) :)

    I made a quick example for you called prelogin.mnu and I put it in the
    prealpha folder:

    :)

    I will also look into the gosub/return as well. I may have imposed some restrictions on the prelogin menu like I have with the new user info menu, I am not sure. Or it could be broken or something else.

    My eyes started to go cross-eyed reading through that, but I think I
    understand what you want.

    Best bet is to turn on a user flag at the beginning of the prelogin menu that excludes all of the entries you want to skip on first pass and run on items that will only work with that flag set, then when they do the "quit to the
    BBS" thing, it toggles the flag from on to off, starts the prelogin menu anew via GO (not GS), and does the "flag off" stuff before hitting the main menu.

    Menu commands to look at are -F and -D, the logical ! (not) operater to check and set/remove the temp flag, logical & (and) to include checking the flag in your normal access.

    I was crosseyed when I wrote it! LOL g00r00 got me squared away, basically
    just making a menu in the prelogin.mnu and when I enter the Q command just
    add the check for mail after that and then it will drop to the main menu.. It can't be any simpler then that.. I made it more of a mountain then it really was by trying to use gosub menus etc.. 1 Menu 1 exit..
