Hi g00r00,

I hope you and your family are doing well.

I've got a couple of suggestions for additions to Mystic, particularly in the MPL end of things.

1. Would be possible to add a function in MPL similar to the IsNumber function in FreePascal?

For now, I have written a function that does something close to what I need. If I'm going to be taking user input and will need to Str2Int, I want to make sure it's an actual number. ;)

Here is what I've put together. It's untested, so there may be issues with it.

Function IsNumber(str:String):Boolean
Var
 c   : Byte
 a   : Array[1..10] of Boolean
Begin
 IsNumber:=True
 For c:=1 to Length(str) Do
   If Ord(str[c])<48 Or Ord(str[c])>58 Then
     a[c]:=False
   Else a[c]:=True
 For c:=1 to Length(str) Do
   If a[c]=False Then IsNumber:=False
End

2. Not sure about how possible this is, but could a text box, such as the vertical, horizontal, etc, be used to ask a user a question and have them type in a response? Such as:

                   Enter your BBS Name
              [                           ]

And be able to save the response as a string?

I've been having fun putting these in different places within Castle Rock, and think this would be a great addition.

Thanks for all of your hard work and effort you put into Mystic. It is greatly appreciated!
