Hey DM,

I have two requests if possible.

The documentation for MsgBase.cfg indicates that the "index" (to sub_list) should be shown, but it doesnt appear. It shows grp_number, but not index. Is that an ommission? (If so, can it be added).

eg: My PVT_TEST shows just these keys for cfg.

"number",
"grp_number",
"grp_name",
"code",
"name",
"description",
"qwk_name",
"area_tag",
"newsgroup",
"ars",
"read_ars",
"post_ars",
"operator_ars",
"moderated_ars",
"data_dir",
"fidonet_origin",
"qwknet_tagline",
"settings",
"ptridx",
"qwk_conf",
"max_crcs",
"max_msgs",
"max_age",
"print_mode",
"print_mode_neg"

Is it possible to include in msg_areas.sub and msg_areas.grp_list.sub_list the fido address if configured? That might be useful in MsgBase as well.

Thanks.. :)

The "index" property of cfg is populated in the msg_area object but not instance of MsgBase, by design.

It was intentional (there's no array being generated when a MsgBase object is created).

Yes, and you can use "code" as a index into msg_area.sub[] to get to the "cfg" of interest (that includes the "index" property).

I'll add a issue/request to gitlab for that enhancement.

OK, makes sense.

I got it from here https://synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html#MsgBase.cfg_object_properties, I guess it needs updating in case it throws somebody else off :)

> Yes, and you can use "code" as a index into msg_area.sub[] to get to the "cfg" of interest (that includes the "index" property).

Ahh, OK that should work too, thanks. I'll have a play.

> I'll add a issue/request to gitlab for that enhancement.

Thank you :)
