 DM> There are, by default, multiple shells that already have a separate
 DM> message area from main area (e.g. renegade.js) - use that as a template.

 DM> Other shells that have separate messages menu: - Oblivion/2
 DM> - Renegade
 DM> - Wildcat

Ever get so stuck on a task that you miss the thing right in front of your face?  I'm waving from there.  :)

 DM> That's not how you do that. You could either use the "custom" node action
 DM> and set the NodeActivityCustom text string to your preference
 DM> (https://wiki.synchro.net/custom:node_status) or just
 DM> NodeActionReadingMessages (NODE_RMSG) like those split main/message shells
 DM> do.

Thanks - I'll use the custom messsage.

Thanks as alwaays!
