• Menu Command Question

    From Recon #1@126.Wwivnet@11:1/101 to All on Tue Jul 23 18:43:05 2024


    Rushfan or those heavily playing with menu commands .. I would like to have WWIV ask "Would you like to scan for new files in [1] Current Dir [2] All Dir [3] No thanks take to main transfer menu" when someone first types "T" to enter the transfer menu from the main menu. And likewise I'd like to do the same thing when someone enters the message menu and/or ask for conference then area as they enter the message/transfer areas .. same concept.

    I know I can make a new menu such as .. "PreTransfer" where my thought is to:

    Display Clear Screen
    Display ANSI File
    Display Text at line 22 "Would you like to ..."
    Display menu options on line 23: Present menu options and execute choice Always drop to Transfer menu when done

    I'm pretty clear on how to do most of this, with exception of two things:
    1. Display line of text to specific line given, specially if within a displayed ansi sittin static (at pause without pause prompt).
    2. Present a question prior to the above, such as "Would you like to scan for new files / Messages?" If Yes: goto PreTransfer menu, if no goto Transfer menu.

    Any insites are appreciated.

    1. Display line of text to specific line given, specially if within a displayed ansi sittin static (at pause without pause prompt).

    I'd think this be a menu where the ansi/ascii file just has hte text and the menu commands are just 1, 2, 3 which 1,2 does the scan you want and then switches to the transfer menu, 3 just switches to teh transfer menu.
