subject: Couple Questions

Hoping I can get some assistance.

1.) I've updated the userchat.ans and userchat.ini files. When in chat I hit the back space, it's not clearing the letters out. However, if I start typing it's where it should be if I backspaced... How can I fix this? I changed the text attribute from 133 to 15. Maybe I need a different number here?

2.) MPS. Is there a way to read in contents of a config file? I'm working on a mod and I want to keep the configuration outside the actual .mps file. What would be the best method to call up that file?

3.) Scrolling Ansis. How do I do this? If I create a menu with an ansi and I'm using lightbars, how do I get it to scroll down the screen at a selected point on the ansi I choose?

Thanks for the help!

... What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men?
