subject: Length of Node Status mes

Hello g00r00!

I noticed that the Node Status setting for a menu only allows for 30 characters:

ß Û°°Û  Node Status  ³ Scanning for Unread Pers Msgs°                     ÛÛ° ²

...whereas the actual maximum field length (according to records.112) appears to be 40 characters:

    Action     : String[40];            { User's action on this node      }

...which can happily be used for the NA (Set node action) function:

Û Access StÛ Command    ³ (NA) Set node action                       Ûape  00 Û
Û Display WÛ Data       ³ Scanning for Unread Personal Messages      Û     00 Û

Would it be possible to allow 40 characters also in the menu settings?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards
Bj”rn
