  • MCI Code Question

    From Mike@1:229/310 to All on Sat Apr 13 03:42:51 2024
    I have a MCI displaying but the content and bleeding into the next line because
    it's to long. Is there way to limit how much of the text ont he line is displayed?

    |XX |STOP AT 79

    Take a look at the padding justification MCI codes, |$Lxx, |$Rxx, |$Cxx I believe. L = Left, R = Right, C = Center.

    .... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

    Thanks, |&TXX was the solution!

    Thanks for the direction.
