 Correct. I had this working, and I think I blew away something; when I had
that build fiasco. I've added them back as native apps. I've tried to follow
the nano config in the wiki (which I think I used before). 

But now I get "aborted" from synchronet I believe, when I try it. 

Vim, just hangs (black screen when it tries to start it). 

Tim (kk????) had helped in the past with changing sbbs.ini setting; found that email. I may have to go back further and see if I can find more details; of how I got it to work in the echo. 

I didn't realize my fiasco had lost these settings. I have a better backup practice in place now, LOL! Learn from our mistakes.
