The only foolish question, is asking me *IF* I want coffee in the morning. ;)

Within your /mystic directory, you should have a subdirectory called themes. Within there, you will see more subdirectories for each theme running on your board. If you don't have any others, you will see 'default'. Within that directory, there is a 'text' and a 'scripts' directory.

So, long story short, (too late) on a default install, take a look at /mystic/themes/default/scripts

It is not 100% compatible. g00r00 has recreated a lot of the functions/procedures to put into MPLC. What I would do, is take a look at the MPL document that dream master released a few years ago, and take a look at that. With a bit of editing, you should be able to get your Pascal code to work in MPL.
