    okay it's not translating the \1X color codes.
    any idea what i can do about that?
    i'm running 3.17

    instead of the regular interface i'm used to. it's a bunch of \1
    code mess

    Can you show me a screenshot? Because if I understand you
    correctly, I've never seen SlyEdit do that. And this is the first
    time I've heard about this issue from anyone.

    I'm not sure what's going on there. I also tried on my BBS with mTelnet and it looks fine to me.

    Digital Man - It looks like the latest version of SlyEdit is outputting literal \1 strings for Mro, and most of the color/attribute codes aren't being sent as ANSI. Do you know of any things that might cause that?

    I just updated the SlyEd173.zip archive - Try downloading it again. I had a look and realized the color configuration files I put in there are for an im-progress version I'm working on to support \1 in those .cfg files rather than the control character. I have replaced those color .cfg files in the archive with ones which should work.

    okay it works now. i recommend you rename the directories in that archive to mods and ctrl, though
    thanks for making the archive!

    No problem.

    And it sounded like you were interested in the change subject feature - The hotkey for that is Ctrl-S.


    no, i dont need that. on my bbs is asks me to change the subject before entering the msg. the thing that was bothering me is when i was moving around with arrow keys sometimes it would enter in letters, but with the newer version, that issue is gone.
