So i wrote a BC++ program to subclass WMinVn's listbox so that i change d all the enterys with "HELP" in it to "SAD NEWBI TYPE MESSAGE - DON'T READ", I first tried to delete them but it screwed up the WinVns indexing. It's probably not realy a hack - but it was C00L (I thought). I know I could make a SubClassing virous ro do that. Zenith.// (it was a friend who told me aboiut it - I DON'T READ alt.2600 GOT THAT!
