    DC> 1.  When reading posts from FTN's or even local echos, there are times   
    DC> when I or a user can write an email, read it back, and there are several   
    DC> carraige returns between lines of a singular paragraph.  This is writing   
    DC> and reading in 80x25, not writing in 132x37 then reading in 80x25.  Has   
    DC> anyone else experienced this and know the cause/fix?   
      
   If you have a problem you can reproduce let me know how to reproduce it and I   
   will look into it. I have not seen something like this nor had anyone else   
   mention it.   
      
   Keep in mind that if you physically press enter in text then it will move to   
   the next line and that people who are using a different screen size will still   
   see those enters. In other words, if you place a hard paragraph end, they will   
   show up as a hard paragraph end for everyone at that point in the text   
   regardless of their screen size.   
      
   IE: If you type paragraphs you have to let it actually wrap and format the   
   paragraph.  If you type hard enters at the end of each line then you are going   
   to see hard enters in the middle of sentences on any other screen size.   
      
    DC> 2.  I will perform  /U global upload of all groups/areas within the file   
    DC> section, and hundreds of files will upload.  The next day, I can do it   
    DC> again, and the same files will upload again.  It appears that My Mystic   
      
   Give me steps and files to reproduce a problem and I will look into it but I   
   will note to test this.  I haven't had anyone else mention it though.   
      
    DC> 3.  On the new Mystic Version .. When I open archive viewer and select a   
    DC> .txt file to read, the telnet/ssh session terminates.   
      
   Did you upgrade your ansi viewer as per the latest upgrade instructions with   
   the newer template?  Is there anything in your node/error logs?  If you have a   
   file that has a problem send it to me with a note about the problem so I can   
   take a look!   
      
    DC> On a seperate note, I'm curious if Mystic has built in light bar support   
    DC> for Group and Area browing for both file and message areas.  I have been   
      
   You can use the msg index to select msg are and the file index to select file   
   area.  There is an action setting that determines if the template you call   
   reads, selects, or toggles new/qwk scan settings.  So yes, Mystic has lightbar   
   area selection and scan settings using those templates.  If you look in the   
   default index template you will see this:   
      
       ; ACTION MODE: What to do when enter is pressed on a base   
       ; 0 = read messages   
       ; 1 = change area   
       ; 2 = toggle newscan   
       ; 3 = toggle QWKscan   
      
   So you create a new template with the action mode set to what you want it to   
   do when the user presses enter, then call that template with the index reader   
   menu command and it will act as a message reader (which you're used to), an   
   area changer, a newscan or qwkscan selector.   
      
   Copy msg_index.ini to pickmsgarea.ini and change action mode to 1 then call   
   the MI with dat of pickmsgarea and you have a lightbar area selector.   
      
   ... There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past
