Jay, thanks... this is all great information and I have a similar setup - I am gonna have to update a few things, because... I don't have the nodelist update going on - but that will be easy to implement after adding the FTN file areas... and your post WAS very helpful to me. Thanks much, I appreciate it - I bet a lot of [newer] Mystic Sysops are NOT running their systems in intelligent ways, through the use of .inis, events and scripting... 

I'm getting there - and your details will help a bit.
