When I couldn't recall the port number I needed to access, 'twas very
useful. I seem to have it ingrained into my head now, although having
just gone over to using bookmarks, I'll probably be keying it in less
frequently. Now I have the bookmarks, a service flavour would be
perfect.

I took out the MCxAP specific Target address, and commented out the
native message.display section so that this raw flavour would take
over in its place. Otherwise I assume I would have got 2 distinct
message.display xAP messages sent? Mine now looks like this:

<start>
Type=raw:message.display
Target=>
<raw>
display.text
{
Line1=Incoming call from
Line2=*NameCompanyNumber* *locationstd*
Duration=20
}
Display.look
{
image=*picurl*
}
</raw>
<end>

One more question. Does the ToSend.txt get read only when
xAPSwitchboard starts up? Or can I modify ToSend.txt at runtime and
expect changes to be processed next time a CID event occurs? I've been
restarting xSB each time I change it.

I'm a bit wary of how MCxAP deals with invalid or blank image links -
I definitely need to do some more testing in that area.
