   Sorry, meant to cancel my last post, go and re-verify something, since I had   
   just realized I had recently wiped my entire message bases (by accident of my   
   own volition). After I did this to my test message base, I can confirm it   
   /works/.   
      
   It seems the AREAFILE method lacks appending the group to the msgbase, and only   
   tries the internalcode, failing miserably of course. So it's an actual bug in   
   GoldEd+ for sure. I'm guessing the reason I'm seeing files with 1411   
   permissions (-r----x--t) is because it's literally creating a brand new message   
   base and setting permission bits to 1411.

   I'd like to find out more about this. I'm assuming it's in whatever   
   documentation exists somewhere? Heh.    
      
   And what-of the golded.gel help file that I'm lacking?

   Aha! I... Didn't realize this was a thing. I guess I was just hoping the days   
   of compiling nodelists was gone after all these years, but apparently not, not   
   for ged+ anyway. Nor I guess for Husky Tools project similarly. heh   
      
   I kept looking for goldnode, didn't think to occur to me it would be called   
   gnlnx. :/    
      
   However, now that that's compiled, when I actually try to use it to type a name   
   to, it segfaults out leaving still unusable. The nodelist files are compiled   
   approriately in /binkd/nodelist/goldex.gn{a,l,n} from NodelistPath in the   
   config.   
      
   During compiling it specifically looked all OK, exact filenames shown   
   accordingly. No errors.
