• Message Group List

    From Vorlonze@1:229/700 to All on Fri Mar 5 15:11:21 2021
    I am having some difficulty in figuring out how to get the Message groups to list properly in the menu. It seems that every group I add ends up as Group 1 in the Join Group list. The 1st group added always ends up as last.
    In the Message Group editor, there is a command to Move Before but doent seem to work.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    You need to add the groups to the list acs in your message bases. I use s10g1 for group 1 and s10g2 for group 2 and so on.

    You can do that in file areas also but use z instead of g. I use s10z1 for file group 1 and s10z2 for file group 2 etc.

    That was not the problem. I did manage to use the acs codes to display the message areas in each group. The problem was the listing of the groups. Group editor was always adding each new group at the top of the list instead of the bottom. I did figure out that you can Insert a new group at the bottom after some trial and error. Now when I Join a group, the list shows as I want.
    Thanks for the response.
