Hi g00r00,

Just found a significant issue in the A39 message base editor.
When selecting all message bases using TAB and sorting them using /S, if you hit ESC to quit instead or using A to abort, it clears the mbases.dat file
back to zero.

I am posting this from Agency since my BBS is now restoring from backup at
the moment.

Please don't do this at home!

Cheers!

This is when live SAN snapshots comes in handy :)
In the end, I didn't loose anything, which is the good news.
