   I moved Agency to Linux and can't seem to get some things working. Wondering if   
   I have missed something?   
      
   FLAG1x   
      
   I have a user account with Flag 1A set. There's a file called FLAG1A.ANS that   
   displays on the old A46 win32 instance of the BBS  when the user logs in.   
      
   But on the new Linux box (running the version in my tear line below) the only   
   thing I have changed is the display file to lowercase (as per wiki notes) so   
   it's now called  flag1a.ans but the file no longer displays when the user logs   
   on. Did I miss something?   
      
   ANSICHAT.XXX   
      
   I miss the options that display on a terminal window when a user if active in   
   Windows. It seems Nodespy is my only option for some things I used to be able   
   to do with the Windows terminal.   
      
   Using the Window terminal in the A46 win32 version I could call Alt-S to engage   
   a split screen chat and a lower case ansichat.ANS would display.   
      
   Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no equivalent option in Linux.. and I need   
   to use Nodespy - sound right? :)   
      
   In the Linux version I made the file name ansichat.ans and then went looking as   
   to how to call it.   
      
   When running Nodespy I can run snoop and there after can use  alt-c to chat...   
   but if I want to use the split-screen chat I need to go to the 'user chat'   
   option in Nodespy.   
      
   The problem is it calls the stock split-screen chat ansi background and seems   
   to ignore the ansichat.ans I have. Any ideas why? I probably missed something.   
      
   I also wondered if in 'snoop' you could add the split-screen chat option in so   
   alt-s as well as having alt-c option?   
      
   In the windows terminal there were options to edit the user while online,   
   increase and decrease avail time, toggle the status bar displaying user info on   
   and off, and toggle the info being displayed on the status bar. Do you think   
   you could add the same code to the nodespy module too? I kinda think it would   
   be helpful stuff for a Linux sysop and it's something I've missed since moving   
   to Linux from Windows.   
      
   I'd better stop there :)   
      
   Thanks for any info / thoughts.
