Actually it's pretty simple, Larry.  When I first set up Max, I wanted any 
newbie (a first-timer) to be able to read any public area on the board but 
not to have posting ability in any form.  So... unless a caller is at least 
"Limited", and has the "E" key, no posting of messages is possible.  Ummm... 
I'm not sure why I have the "Msg_Change" in there; if you can't post one, how 
could you change it? 
Best,
 -Jack
