There are four parts. First, modify menus.ctl to change this line:
NoDsp Same_Direction Twit "|"
to this:
NoDsp Display_File misc\moremsgs Twit "|"
and add this to the same menu (MESSAGE):
Display_File misc\nextarea Twit "Quickfind"
misc\moremsgs.mec says:
[msg_prior menu_cmd read_previous]
[msg_prior quit]
[msg_nonew goto nonew]
[menu_cmd read_next]
[quit /nonew]
End of available messages in this area.
Quickfind next new message? [menu]yn|
[choice]n[quit]
[display]misc\nextarea
misc\nextarea.mec says:
[msg_nomsgs]No messages in[goto nextarea]
[msg_nonew ]No new msgs in[goto nextarea]
[msg_noread]You don't read[goto nextarea]
[/choose]
There are new messages in area [msg_carea]: [msg_cname]!
Do you want to read them (Y/n/q/?)? [menu]y|nq?
[choice]|[goto readit]
[choice]y[goto readit]
[choice]n
[choice]n[goto poke]
[choice]q[quit]
Enter Y to read this area (default), N to skip it, or Q to quit.
[goto choose]
[/readit]
[menu_cmd read_next]
[quit]
[/nextarea] area [msg_carea]: [msg_cname]
[/poke no_keypress goto poke2]
[quit]
[/poke2 link]+Mislast
[key_poke]a]q
amd finally, islast.mec, which turns into islast.bbs, which should be
placed in the directory of your highest msg area, says:
You have reached the highest message area.
[enter exit]
(note: all mecca files have been indented by one space here to prevent
wrapping). Don't forget to *compile* the .mec files with MECCA! David
Lyle's version differs mainly in that he calls the Quickfind function
/nextmsg. I am considering going back to that name, since so many users
hit Q in the msg area in an attempt to get to the main menu, thinking of
the Quit command of Fido, GT, and other such obsolete software.
