Hi Michele,

Yep, its all fairly basic stuff. The first part forces the user back into
Message area 1 so the basic access rules are set for the search criteria.

 MMD> with squish. Howe come areas.bbs isn't used despite it

Areas.Bbs is optional to allow compatibility with other products, but its
not the Squish PRIME control mechanism.

 MMD>      Quick question though. How high can the bps rate 
 MMD> fead into Maximus be for telnet? 

I know that under OS/2 the BPS value does to apply at all and can be
ignored, as the application always inherits the connection from whatever
application sets the speed of connection, and as that happens external to
Maximus, Max does not care.

 MMD>      Also how do I disable the use of pico as a local message editor for 
 MMD> local login? 

No idea sorry, that would be unix OS specific and probably set from the
defintions for getty (or whatever you are using to answer the call).

 MMD> I rather use maxed for local entry anyway. 

Thats normally a Maximus configuration option, and I guess it may be
overridden for a unix OS...

 MMD> but If I wanted local 
 MMD> message editor how come it ignores the EDITOR or 
 MMD> VISUAL environment varibles in Linux? 

You would need to ask the Maximus developers about that sorry.

Cheers............pk.
