 g0> You're not stuck with 80x25, Mystic can have themes/templates up to
 g0> 160x60. 

okay, now that i've installed A47 and have a better idea what what it does i
think i can ask better questions. from the looks of it i can create msg_editor.ini files for any size/line count i want. but here's where my curiousity lies: if i want two editors, say 80x25 and 80x50 just because they used to be common. i create two templates that are nearly identical except for the lower-right coordinate i supply. would it be possible to just instead inverse the lower coordinate so it's a "lines from bottom" instead? in which case one 80 column template would cover every line count.

i suppose i could also automate the creation of msg_editor.c80x24.ini through msg_editor.c80x100.ini or whatever but :)
 
 g0> I really just need to make a better default theme for Mystic.

i duno, i think the default is very much "i've just installed my bbs.. let me geek out about it" in the right old-school sort of way. i call sync bbses and set my theme to "synchronade" or whatever it's called for the same sort of reason.
