Thanks, yes I saw that. But it's only called if the msgbase is opened.

What if

x = new MsgBase(code);
JSON.stringify(x);

It still shows first_msg is zero (as is last_msg) - which I know is what it should be - I couldnt follow how that was achieved for "first_msg" (I see how it is done for the other attributes). Or was that pure luck, and it could potentially be anything?

It doesnt impact what I'm doing, just learning c++ code, one idea at a time :)
