• Mystic Message Header

    From Captain Obvious@21:1/157 to All on Monday, September 12, 2016 20:19:00
    I have replaced my ansimrd message header using the old one as a template but having a couple of issues I could use some help with.

    1. How do I truncate a field? For instance, the &3 (subject) field, I need to be no more than 16 character.

    2. The way I have the header set up is
    Title: Total Msgs :
    To : Current Msg:
    From : Date :

    The title, To and From fields show up where I need them to but the total
    msgs, current msg and date fields are all pushed to the right. Do I need to
    use ansi codes to position them properly or can I do it using Mystic's
    display codes. I attempted to use what I thought would position them but it didn't work. The NAMES of the fields don't move, they stay where I need them to, but the data itself does.
