Yes, use the pipe, the path is correct, I figured out a workaround, but just hit me as strange. What is happening is if you add a command to a menu in the top option Display Text I had |DFsysopmsg and just the access of 255 which would display a sysop menu after the message & file menu, now it just displays ysopmsg on the screen.. Could be a bug might be just the way it is working now. I have done it a bit differently now, I changed the hotkey to AFTER and now on the action list have it display a file sysopmsg and it is working so I guess I will leave it as that for now.. Still have to setup the cursor menus for those menus.. Thanks for the help...
