   What is happening is in another post I alluded to an issue I am having with   
   MRC the main file is not wrapping to 80 column like it did in A46 and before,   
   I have gotten a mrcscrl.ini to use which works on a brand new install I did   
   but doesn't work on my upgraded system. I am using netrunner as my term   
   program, 80x24 screen as is the setup for Mystic.. When I try to run another   
   MPL InterBBS oneliners, when I try to view the listing it doesn't work either,   
   but I can add to it with no issues. I am just getting the feeling now that   
   something did not upgrade properly. On the new install if I go into Config,   
   and drop down into Themes/Prompts, if I choose option 4 display files, when I   
   choose a file to display it asks 80 or 120 column, my upgraded system does not   
   ask this, it goes straight to the screen..   
   LOL Have I confused you yet?!!?! LOL It's just driving me nuts that I can't   
   get this going properly. I upgraded via the docs using the install routines,   
   then even did it manually replacing files, so I know all of the files have   
   been replaced.    
      
   Thanks again for the response..
