    file1_name    = myfile.txt
    file1_baseidx = 2
    file1_from    = Sysop
    file1_to      = All
    file1_subj    = My subject
    file1_addr    = 0:0/0
    file1_delfile = false

I think the only way to run the function at present is to update the subj
line within the stanza.

I guess you could have the text file name the same each time and create a few
..ini versions to run from mutil that have different titles / subjects..

Then what you could do is set up some Mystic events to look for a semaphore
called news.txt or down.txt etc... and depending on what semaphore it sees it
then runs a shell line calling the correct ini.

That way you have one text file name you are always populating to be posted
but a way of getting mystic to post it using the correct posttextfiles stanza
you want to use ;)

Hope that helps.

Best, Paul
