   Bulletin MPL program

   From: nospam.Dennis.Katsonis@f1.n770.z88.fidonet.org   
      
   As part of the prelogin for Mystic, we execute the MPL program "Bulletin" as   
   such   
   bulletin bulletin bullet check   
      
   The problem I have with the latest, Mystic 1.12 Alpha 47 on Raspberry Pi is the   
   check for new bulletins doesn't seem to work.  In fact, it doesn't seem to run.   
    I createa new bulleting (bullet6.ans) and update bulletin.asc in my theme   
   directory   
   /mystic/themes/neon/text/bulletin.asc   
      
   I have "(GX) Execute MPL program" in the prelogin menu, with "bulletin bulletin   
   bullet check" in data, but if I createa  new bulletin in the themes text   
   directory, it doesn't get picked up on login as a new bulletin.  It doesn't   
   appear the check is run at all.  I can see the check for New Electronic Mail,   
   but there is no indication that a check for new bulletins occurs.  I recall   
   that I would see this check even if there were no bulletins.   
      
   Nothing appears in the error log about this.  I upgraded from A46 to A47, and I   
   think this is when this check stopped working.   
      
   Is there a way to run this MPL program manually?  If I can do that, I can see   
   if there is an error or something blocking it from running.  At least then, I   
   can start troubleshooting.
