Why would a loop thing not be so good?  I dunno, i just need help(examples) of
how to do it.  I'm not a very good programmer, but I want to allow people to
idle at the menu, while still recieving messages such as those sent from
ctrl-p, and ability to see who's logging on/off while not having to push any
keys or press enter.  I'm using default major.src rightnow.  I'd appreciate any
help, since Majorbbs, actually had automatic screen updates, even when idle.
Anyone can post an example of how I'd implement the loop?  I know it deals
something with sync, or async, and inkey... thats about it.  Thanks for any
info/solutions.  I want the bbs to emulate MBBS as much as possible, since a
lot of my users used to use MBBS(a lot feel MBBS is superior, but geez, it just
cost too much).
