Michael,
Look in config.h for MBX_AREA_PROMPT and MBX_MORE_PROMPT. They should be
DEFINEd by default for the "old" behavior. To get the behavior that you want,
they both should be UNDEFINEd after or instead of the DEFINE. And this only
applies to JNOS 2.0i and later versions.
Hope that helps.

Apropos of this observation, I just want to verify -- are the following
assertions true? (And if not, what's the proper course of action?)
1a) There's no #define that I can change to #undef to turn off the alphabet-soup
prompt (a user still needs to issue the X command to get that to go away);
1b) The alphabet-soup prompt doesn't prevent Outpost from working correctly with
JNOS (statements found on the Outpost website to the contrary notwithstanding);
2) Even though (after #undef'ing the two symbols named above) I don't need to
doctor up entries in users.dat for the Tactical Call Signs, I still need to
create entries for them in ftpusers (unless I'm willing to let them default to
"univperm", or some more specific "<interface>perm").
Also, is there any documentation of the format of entries in users.dat? Or do I
just need to read the code?
Thanks!
