Is there any way to make it so when the user hits ctrl+C it doesn't display the title, or move the cursor at all? I think my best bet is to setup ctrl+C as a menu option, and have it do nothing (just call a mex program or something that simply locates the cursor in the right spot, or make it key_poke Enter).. but i also need to make it so when IPC messages pop up, it doesn't put anything. I've defined "Title " in the menus.ctl, but it just puts: ": " (like it puts "Sysop Menu: ", but no text) is there a way to make it so it doesn't put anying somewhere in the language file? I can't find it..... any ideas? thanks in advance.. ttyl, greg --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: * Chaos BBS * 6i3.389.O8i6 * Kingston, ON!
