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?
