   Hello Niels!   
      
   26 Mar 25 08:30, you wrote to all:

   That command was removed by Michiel when he fully removed the ASCII support    
   from MBSE.  Andrew has since added that back to the example menus.

   That is my fault. I fat-fingered it and Andrew is currently fixing that.  I've    
   made sure that will not happen again.   
      
   If you look at the documentation, I did a lot of work by updating how to    
   install DOSemu and DOS doors as well as adding a chapter about setting up    
   Linux "doors"/programs using the /U command Andrew added.   
      
   I need to update the "how to set up a web server" and "how to set up a FTP    
   server" documentation as it is seriously out of date.   
      
   Sadly, my chronic health issues like to keep me busy and in and out of the    
   hospital.   
      
   I'm doing better so I'll be working on updating the documentation more.     
   Eventually, I want to create a searchable PDF form of the documentation using    
   LaTeX and possiby other formats also.   
      
    NH> Not complaining, pelase don't get me wrong, just pointing out a few

   Not taken as complaints.  I'm glad you noticed those issues and let us know!
