Hi All

I've Add this code to my command shell

cmdkey E
TOGGLE_USER_MISC .19
COMPARE_USER_MISC UM_EXTDESC
if_true
CLS
print "\r\nExtended Descriptions Are Now ON\r\n"
end_cmd
end_if
CLS
print "\r\nExtended Descriptions Are Now OFF\r\n"
end_cmd


This toggles the extended list display on/off
Is there a way to have THE ON/OFF Display in the .ASC file..
So a custom message variable would be @EXTDISP@

eg: EXTENDED DISPLAY: @EXTDISP@


Thanks
Coolmax

Mmmmmmm. Maybe some sort of (a)EXEC:EXTDISP(a) with the EXTDISP module checking and outputting ON/OFF accordingly?

Might work....

----8<----[extdisp.src]----8<----

!INCLUDE userdefs.inc
COMPARE_USER_MISC UM_EXTDESC
IF_TRUE
PRINT "ON"
ELSE
PRINT "OFF"
END_IF

----8<---------------------8<----


EXTENDED DISPLAY: @EXEC:EXTDISP@

Yep -- works here now!

I'm not really sure what you're asking. You could display a different .ASC file based on the results of the test (one for yes, and another no). <shrug>
