    DM,

    When I use ctrl-p to bring up the private message menu and press M to send a private message, which file do I modify to adjust the formatting of the echoed text on the data entry line:

    Node, Name, #Number, 'Handle, ^User list, or All:

    I'm looking to mod the field so that it doesn't auto-capitalize the first character and I can't seem to find where this is done.

    Thanks,
    -WitNik

    I am not DM but the prompt is key 524 in text.dat (arounf line 621 in the text.dat I have)

    Hope this helps,

    If you're asking about the input prompt, that'd be about line 1279 of src/sbbs3/chat.cpp:
    getstr(str,LEN_ALIAS,K_UPRLWR|K_LINE|K_EDIT|K_AUTODEL);
    You'd remove "K_UPRLOWR|" from that line to defeat the auto-capitalization. I'd have no problem making that change permanent if that's what you're asking about.

    Mortifis,

    I wasn't looking for the prompt, but for the script that controls the data entry after pressing "M" at the prompt. The prompt auto-capitalizes the first character and I was trying to figure out where to disable it. I've been looking at the privatemsg.js and sbbsimsg.js so far but I can't find where that field that takes the input is located.

    =)

    I'm going to keep looking though, as it's kind of cool to try to figure out how all these scripts/engine interact.

    That is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for adjusting the default behavior! I kept looking in the JS files for it.

    Thanks,
