Wow, thanks for the quick response, Mark!

OK,
1 works fine
2 kinda works - it really goes backwards instead
   of fast forward (although I honestly wouldn't use that much)
3 WORKS!!! (that's great)
7 doesn't work.

BTW, what is the difference between # skip message and (other) abort
playback of current message?

Thanks again!!

I've looked further into this.

This is what's in ECS.HTM:

During playback thru the phone, the following buttons may be pressed:

Phone Button Function
1 "Rewind" message by a few seconds
2 "Fast-forward" by a few seconds
# Skip message
6 (N) Stops playback of current message and forces its status to "NEW"
(considered unplayed). This button may be used when a message is intended
for someone else, or you want to preserve the message to play it again
later.
7 (R) Replay message
3 (D) Delete message
* Abort playback of all messages
(other) Abort playback of current message

Ones that don't work for me are: 1,2,7 (just taken as abort playback of
current message)

3 (D) as I said, deletes the wrong message.  I.E. - If you are listening to
msg #000058, and hit 3, ECS deletes msg#000057, says "deleted" and then
starts playing msg#000056.  I've verified it several times.  I have two
phone lines and can watch ECS at the same time as using the remote phone
session.  I've even tried a real long message, hitting 3 at the very
beginning of playback.  It still works as I said.

6 (N) works as described.

I have added the following to event Macro Value

;Play old phone messages   653 (OLD)
If     Macro Value    Is    653
Then   Speak Messages Set   Play
Then   Macro Value    Set   None


I will use this feature a lot because I'm constantly on the road, and will
sometimes go through old messages remotely to "clean house."

Hi A.J.,
I can't re-create this problem, and so must assume
that you are clicking delete when the NEXT msg is
being processed (which would be the previous msg,
chronologically speaking).
Make sure you click delete DURING the playback.
