  • Display file question

    From RickV@VERT to All on Friday, December 05, 2025 08:24:55
    Hello everybody!

    I'm working on creating a display file for the External programs menu. Is it possible to make a display file for a specific users security level?

    Thanks,
    RickV

    It's not a built-in feature of "display files", but you could modify your xtrn_sec.js file (suggest you copy to your "mods" directory first) to display different files based on the user's security level, if you like.

    Ok, I see. So I plugged the xtrn_sec.js into ChatGPT and asked it to make me a new xtrn_sec.js so that it will display a ansi file based on security level. Now I can create a specific file (xtrn_sec_50.ans) for my external programs that only that security level can access.

    so did that actually work or did it bomb out.
