way ... if it was a feature ...

 A users access_token for a single application wont change unless it gets
 revoked (and maybe an edgecase or two). You can have your users authorized
 your app with xAuth and once they go through the web flow from any browser
 the access_token already in the application will beg upgraded to access DMs.
 Just make sure you use the same consumer key both times.

  Hello all,
  I need to use xAuth to access Twitter, my platform of choice (IBM AS/
  400) has no GUI, and no web browser, so OAuth is out.

  I need to read direct messages, now xAuth won't let me do that as I
  need to ask my users to authorize for direct message access (even
  though, not one has complained).

  Running OAuth on the AS/400 is not going to happen, but I wonder is it
  possible to make a basic app on Windows, or the web to allow my users
  to re-enable Direct Message access, but actually do the reading
  through xAuth? I know it's a long shot, but it's the only one I've got
  at the moment.

  Basically, I'm talking about making a skeleton application to let my
  users push the various OAuth relative buttons, but keep on reading in
  my usual xAuth way?

  Thanks

  Garry
