It's not a matter of new features. I was/am running across some strangeness
that I thought and in one case heard that the prealpha would fix.

Occasionally, messages have random blank lines in them. Like several.  I seem
to remember asking about this a while back, and someone said the pre-alpga
fixed that.  

A couple of days ago, I was replying to a message, and accidentally hit Save
when I meant to quote.  When I tried to edit the message, I got dumped out of
mystic.

When I pulled up the Help screen while reading a message, to remind myself
how to save it to a text file, when I tried to exit the Help scteen, I got
dumped out of the BBS.

And finally, after I add a oneliner on rcs1line, It shows the onelinersrs and
no menu. Pressing any Key dumps me out of the BBS.
