   I'm interested in writing a script for my login pages that displays various   
   bits of info to the user as they go through the login process.  All I want to   
   be able to do is find out if a certain message base has any new messages for   
   the user and return presumably either a 0 (no new messages) or a 1 (new   
   messages).  Once I get the return on that I would simply start a newscan of   
   that message base.  The "return" i'm looking for is more of a way for me to   
   also display certain text based on the answer.   
      
   Is there an easy way or example of something you may have seen that does this?
