  • Copy and Paste question

    From Sabre@VERT to All on Fri Feb 20 08:21:28 2026
    Hello everybody!

    I would like to copy and paste a game section from the Online Program Section to the bottom of the list, but when I try it all that happens is that it just copies the name of the game section and not all the games IN that section. Is there a way to copy or move a complete section to a different place in the list?

    Thanks,
    Sabre

    Not within SCFG, but using a text editor it'd be trivial to search/replace the name or order of the external program sections for external programs [prog:*:*] in your ctrl/xtrn.ini file. Make a backup first.

    that's one of the features i really enjoy.
    i have done that a few times on my own and other people's bbses when
    fixing them up.
