This did work, basic setup plus these and my unction keys to force mail processing are working (on windows+mystic+golded)

Strange thing if you notice now my origin doesn't contain bbs.skynetbbs.com, I'm not really sure if mystic's areaas.bbs takes care of that or if I should add an Origin line manually w/out screwing what already works.

This happened after I removed all AREADEF lines from *this* golded.cfg and included the areas.bbs, strange.

Looking into it tho.
