   Hello g00r00!   
      
   06 Apr 22 12:08, you wrote to me:   
      
    BP>> Yes, logging in either is -L or running the mpl from a command   
    BP>> prompt with the './mystic -Uuser_Name -Ppassword -X'basicmpl   
    BP>> test' format. Neither one will show the local as being true.   
    BP>> Also, the variable is not being changed anywhere else in the   
    BP>> code.   
      
    gr> The second one is not a local login because you're not telling it its   
    gr> a local login with that command line. There is no -L   
      
   That was a error when typing it into the message... I do use the -L in the   
   command to run from the command line. They say the mind is the second thing to   
   go... I'll be damned if I remember what the first was... ;)   
      
   I just upgraded to a48, at least for my test system here, and it seems to be   
   working now. It was strange that it wasn't in a47.   
      
   I threw together a quick little mpl to test it, as I've modified my   
   bbslist.mps. :)   
      
   Begin   
    ClrScr;   
    WriteLn('|CR');   
    If Local Then WriteLn('Local Login');   
    Else WriteLn('Remote Login');   
   End.   
      
   Now it shows 'Local Login'.   
      
    gr> sudo ./mystic -l -ug00r00 -pMyPassword "-xbbslist bbslist"   
      
   You use the same password that I do!! ;) BTW, I don't run Mystic with sudo.   
      
    BP>> Ooooo. Didn't know about the others on here. So, when it's a   
    BP>> local connection the servertype should also be showing as 4.   
    BP>> Looks like I have some more playing to do. :)   
      
    gr> Probably depends on the version you're using but yes I think so.   
      
   I've edited some code here, but haven't tested it to see if it does. I'll let   
   you know. :)   
      
   Thank you,
