g00r00,
When using the menu commands FA what are the necessary parameters?
I'm currently doing MenuCmd('FA', '211') And that's not working as expected. I'm trying to change to a specific File Area. In this case, ID #211.
Which I'm pretty sure is incorrect, cause I don't think I 'd be sending a string of the ID of the base, when it's clearly an integer.
I'm basically trying to change to a specific File Area and then
do a MenuCmd ('FU', Filename)
Any help on this, would be appreciated! Thanks!
If you're using groups, then you'll want to switch to the proper group first with MenuCmd('FG','123') before you call your 'FA' command.

That looks right to me. Are you sure the user running the script has
List ACS access to that area? Of course something could be broken too,
I just don't have time to test it at the moment.
After thinking it thru, I ran into another problem anyways. As i stated
in another message I was creating an invisible File Area and the user would be able to download from it. However then I realized in order for that to happen the file would have to have been uploaded to the BBS already. Just a thought, Let me know what you think.
What is the reason for the invisible file area? It sounds like you
don't want to have to upload a file to a file base and you just want to send a file to the user. There is a "send file" menu command for
sending a specific file to a user, would that work for what you want?
Sorry I am just trying to understand exactly what the goal is so I can sort out if I need to add something to Mystic or not.
That's correct. I just don't want to use a file area for files. And just have the file attached to either an email or it would alert the user
that they have a file waiting, in the same fashion that Email would.
If there's a menu command for it, I'll use that.
are you talking how renegade does it?

The problem is almost no one uses local message bases anymore, and there isn't a standard way to attach files to echomail messages. Something could be done locally but it'd require that both users are on the same BBS.
