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.

<div>> if you UNDEFINE MBX_AREA_PROMPT and MBX_MORE_PROMPT it should <br>> eliminate the need to pre-configure users to "expert" mode. We use Outpost too.<br><br>Apropos of this observation, I just want to verify -- are the following assertions true? (And if not, what's the proper course of action?)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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);</div>
<div>1b) The alphabet-soup prompt doesn't prevent Outpost from working correctly with JNOS (statements found on the Outpost website to the contrary notwithstanding);</div>
<div>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").</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, is there any documentation of the format of entries in users.dat? Or do I just need to read the code?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
