 pa> Hey Barmed... I see you calling my board frequently, THANK YOU. :P

Weell, yours and BPs are Mystic boards I could remember the address for
easily.

I'm experimenting with other apps in Termux on my phone besudes the BBS. 
Syncterm seem to work mostly fine, except for some reason it's doing
basically 1/3 of the screen for the terminal and cutting the board in half,
making things tricky to maneuver around with. So most of those calls are
fooling with screen sizes to get that better.  

The ultimate goal is I'm figuring that any program that will work in Termux
could be adapted as an Android app to improve mobile BBS access.

As I mentioned, I don't plan on changing my setup at thus point, I'm just
wanting to u derstand   why people do.

 pa> Just saying that you can totally just use the Mystic software, and you'd

I agree. It seems to do pretty much whatever I need it to, at least as I
figure out what I want.

The couple of hiccups I am having are due to me figuring out things.
