Stumped on llMessageLinked with XyText 1.5

I am making an item that will be a contribution tot board. Currently, the object works with floating text, and I really dont like that, so I thought I would make a board where someone could pay to contribute, and rather than the hovering text be updated as it is now, the cumulative total would be updated on a board.

I thought I would use the XYText program from the wiki. I have my contribution script and was hoping that I could just put in an llMessageLinked statement where the hovering text normally is, and have the board listen and take that cumulative total amount and use that to display on the board.

In the XyText Board Control script, there is a line " SetText( llBase64ToString("SXMgdGhhdCBub3QgY29vbCBvciB3aGF0PyA6KQ==" );" where if I replace the contents of SetText with a manually encoded word or number, that is displayed properly on the board.

My hope is that the number from the contribution script gets sent via llMessageLink and the sent string is embedded into SetText.

After 2 days, I am struggling as to how to get the board to hear it.

In the contribution script I had:
llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, 1, totaltips, "";

and hoped that in the XyText Board Control script
//SetText(totaltips) );


If someone can steer me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I hate to include the entire XyText script here, so maybe I will just place the link to the wiki:

integer DISPLAY_STRING = 204000;

change 1 in your link message to 204000

XyText uses the llMessageLinked() integer as a code, telling the XyText script what to do with the string. At the top of the XyText script, there is a "Message Map". Copy the needed constants from that "map" to your main script, then use the DISPLAY_STRING constant as the integer for you llMessageLinked().

Many thanks. That did the trick.
