Hiya all,

Does anybody know the GE menucommand argument to edit the User Optional Field #4 to #10?

I can only find the following instructions:

1 - Street Address 2 - City/State
3 - Zip Code 4 - Home Phone Number
5 - Data Phone Number 6 - Birth date
7 - Gender 8 - Date Format
9 - Terminal Emulation 10 - Screen Length
11 - Password *12 - Real Name
*13 - Alias 14 - Theme Selection
15 - Editor Type 16 - Toggle Invisibility
17 - File List Type 18 - Toggle Availability
19 - Toggle HotKeys 20 - Message Reader Type
21 - Toggle LB Msg Idx 22 - Email Address
23 - User Note 24 - Optional Field 1
25 - Optional Field 2 26 - Optional Field 3
27 - Toggle LB Quote 28 - Toggle LB Email Idx
29 - Toggle Node Chat Type 30 - Toggle QWK FileList

oP!

I could not get a few of the GE ones working right, so I had to use MPL
here is something similar to what I do, using data from the records.112
file.

Uses User

GetThisUser
OptionalField[4] := ???
PutThisUser

or something similar.

RecUserOptionalField = Record
Ask : Boolean;
Desc : String[12];
iType : Byte;
iField : Byte;
iMax : Byte;
End;

OptionalField : Array[1..10] of RecUserOptionalField;

Sorry I don't have the exact details to update the Array value, I've
only ever done Byte, Boolean, and String updates.

Yeah, reading the data through the records works well. I'd like to avoid writing directly if there is a GE command I can use with stuffkeys.

Thanks for your 2 cents!
