Maybe you should use scrollback instead of capture. If you scroll back
and then save it, you'll get everything.

One downfall to OLX that I found is that there appears no way to read
RIPscript message that are found in the RIPnet! echos. Although Robomail had
no provisions to read them, there was a options to shell out to another
program, Deadview, that would converting the current message that you were
looking at to display the RIP portion.
Does OLX do the same? I've not found a way to do this. This is the only thing
keeping me from switching...

Charles, thanks for the offer. I do not have internet mail access to
send the script to you and the Fido address I think was on the message
does not come up in the nodelist.
What I am using is the standard MSI script for wildcat boards. What I
understand as happening is after so many busy signals (one of the whens
in the script for the script to retry) it stops with a "Too Many Whens"
error.
I wish I could send you the script, but cannot in echo mail. Is the
board you use unlisted??

user: You are replying to Chuck Seamon about "Mail Scripts".

Write your reply.

assistant: If you have a retry loop in your script that uses WHEN string1 string2
inside the loop. Each time the loop re-executes these WHEN statements are
processed again and "build up" until to many WHENs have been issued.
You can prevent this by issuing a WHEN statement without any strings to
clear *all* active WHEN statements. So, at the top of your loop, clear
all WHENs and then issue any WHEN statements needed inside the loop.
Thank you Chuck for your response. I believe this is exactly whats
happening. I am using the standard Mustang script for connecting with
a wildcat board. I works perfectly unless I get too many busy signals.
Being a complete novice at scripts, I will try and dig out the book and
see if I can understand what you have said and make the correction.
Appreciate the help.
Ken
