You obviously missed my point.

If Synchronet is the one executing the batch file (as mentioned in my last
post) then yes, it is very possible. With everything I explained in my last
post, Mystic is able to do this also. I also showed you how to do it.

Hang on..

MYSTIC IS ABLE TO DO THIS ALSO. I EXPLAINED THIS IN THE PREVIOUS MESSAGE!

Yep, same instance. But you're not paying attention.... again.

You're forcing your own answer to no. I told you the answer is YES. But you
seem to have your own opinion on the matter, and don't care to pay enough
attention to what anyone else says.

 IJ> Just asking

No. That's not what your batch file should do. Just saying. Please re-read
my last reply to you, because I'm not going to tell you more than once if
you are going to make up your own decisions on what Mystic can and can't
do.

... even though you were told otherwise. :(

Regards,
Nick
