Curious, when I do a new scan on an ftn message area, the default prompt shows the 'short name' which is the ftn tag (let's say it's "FSX GEN").
That feels a little cryptic, as in some of the areas, that tag isn't very descriptive (for example, "FSX MAG", which was originally a tag for Magicka BBS, is now actually the area for Talisman BBS discussion)...
Is there a way to show the full area name in the prompt?
As I'm typing this, I realize this may be a function of command shell customization and maybe I should just search harder and read the docs...
The short name doesn't "have" to be the FTN tag. The sysop could make that a different, more descriptive name.

Oh, so if I change the "Short Name" to whatever I want, that solves the problem? I was thinking that field was the key to tying it the incoming ftn tag...
