MCI codes give the SysOp the ability to make a screen that is variable,
meaning that one screen will display the correct information to each user,
because certain MCI codes look at certain fields in a user's statistics
records. These codes can be used almost anywhere if you put your mind to it,
they can be used in all SysOp defined strings, all text files, including
special text files and repeat ANSI's. MCI codes consist of three characters,
the first of which is always the percent sign "%" (without Quotes). Below is

Note - Here are some special codes that can be used in specific areas of
screen display text files.
%%filename.ext - This code must be at the beginning of the string.
This command should not be used with strings that
contain special codes (IE %S1). (The extension is
not required if the file is in the TEXT dir).
%!filename.ipx - This command allows you to run a ipl program.
}xx - Pads all following MCI codes to 'xx' characters,
this will add spaces if the actual string displayed
has less then 'xx' characters.
{xx - Limits all following MCI codes to 'xx' characters,
this will cut off characters if the actual string
displayed has more then 'xx' characters.
@xx - This code creates line movement of left and right
to column 'xx', but will not move up or down.
&xx - This code creates row movement of up and down to a
new row on the screen. This code will not move
left or right.
Note - These are Iniquity MCI code paramaters that will change the
format of what the MCI code exports to the system.
Parameters are after the MCI code, in parentheses
example: %UN(fwmc15,9,1) Also works with wave(~xx) codes
Parameters:
Mx This code will change the length codes output to x characters
Examples:
%UN(M10) -> "ck "
%RN(M10) -> "Chirstos K"
Fx This will capitalize the string in format x.
For example, FU will convert all letters in the string
to upper case.
These are the formats that can be used:
U All letters are converted to upper case.
(example: %IN(fU) -> "INIQUITY")
l All letters are converted to lower case.
(example: %IN(fl) -> "iniquity")
C The first letter of each word will be upper case,
all other will be lower case.
(example: %UN(fC) -> "Christos Karras")
W All vowels will be lower case, other letters will
be upper case
(example: %IN(fw) -> "iNiQuiTY")
3 "31337" : replace: a -> 4
e -> 3
l -> 1
o -> 0
t -> 7
(example: %FA(f3)
(if current file area is "Old Warez" -> "01d w4r3z")
Wx This will return the Xth word.
For example, if the users real name is
Christos Karras, "Mr. %RN(w2)" would become "Mr. Karras"
Cx1,x2,x3... This will insert color codes in the string.
(example: %IN(c15,9,1) -> "|15I|09n|01iquity")
