    Hey g00r00,

    At one point you had mentioned that using the MsgEditSet and MsgEditGet functions to be able to add a tagline to an outbound message. You had said that if it was run from the 'Saving Message' prompt it would work.

    I've tried many different ways of accomplishing this, and haven't been able to get it to work. I'm probably missing something simple... :)

    Here is what I have. It's just trying to insert a line of text into the message at this point.

    snip<=-

    Uses CFG
    Uses User
    Uses MBase

    Var
    Lines : Integer=0;
    Count : Integer=0;

    Begin
    MsgEditSet(1,'Tagline');
    Lines:=1;
    MsgEditGet(Count);
    End

    snip<=-

    It will print the text to the screen underneath the message editor when saving the message, but it will not insert the text into the message.

    Does the message actually save before the 'Saving Message' prompt is displayed, or did I miss something simple? ;)

    Thank you,

    Nah it might just be that I was wrong ;)

    It was intended to be able to be used that way but maybe in reality it doesn't. I am in the middle of figuring out the future of MPL at the moment (see A47 Mystic Script, etc) so I have been reluctant to really build out MPL/MPY until I find the direction I am looking for.
