Hello g00r00!

When attempting to download an archive member from some "non-built-in" archive type, and specifying an illegal file name ("disallowed" paths), shouldn't Mystic be displaying prompt #69 as a response to the attempt?

As it is now, it just re-displays the archive viewer prompt.

Just a thought. :)

Prompt 69 is displayed during the file upload command when its not using the blind batch mode. If the user enters a filename that contains invalid characters it displays and aborts the upload. I noticed it doesn't have a description in the editor for that prompt so I will add a description.

I could make it display in the archive viewer too in that circumstation if you'd like, or I could also add a new prompt for that which is similar. I am open to suggestions as to whether or not it should be its own unique prompt.

It is probably better to create a new prompt for it, with an appropriate description -- that way it is more flexible, even though I suspect most people won't bother to make them differ. :)

Yeah that makes sense. There are I think 4 unused prompts in the current prompts.dat so I can repurpose one of those.
