 DM> I think you're looking for bbs.atcode().

I was hoping for something similar to console.putmsg which would interpret
codes in a whole string and return the new string, but I suppose I could write
something to do that with bbs.atcode().

That's not exactly what I'm looking for - What I will be using this for is
reading messages posted on sub-boards, which might include @-codes.  Those
might not necessarily include length formatting.  I'll be taking each line from
the message and word-wrapping the line (as the interpreted @-code will likely
differ in length from the @-code) and then displaying the message line on the
screen with a specific width.
