I'm posting this here as I think its more a Linux issue than a Mystic one. 
Maybe it would live better in a Mystic area, but... this is what I chose.

ISSUE: I noticed my Linux binary apps running as an external command thru 
Mystic were displaying MANY * characters (Not actual astericks, but an ANSI 
character that looks like one...) and rendering then unviewable to the end 
user.

Such as Lynx, for gopher browsing, cmatrix, which I use as a screensaver and 
other Linux binaries I call with a Mystic (DD) command.

What I found out, with help from [who else] MeaTLoTioN, is that the issue came 
up AFTER I started loading './mis server' thru screen. I would load screen, run 












































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































'./mis server' and then detach the screen... this way I could reattach screen 
from any system thru SSH and see the Mystic server menu. 

Anyway, I shut Mystic server down and just ran './mis daemon' and viola, no 
more extra characters in my Linux binary apps...

So now I'm testing and trying to learn WHY and ... I do like to have the Mystic 












































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































server screen available to view; but not at the cost of issues with external 
apps that my BBS needs to run.

So - I'll update as I learn the WHY... do you have any ideas? I'm LEARNING that 












































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































I can run MIS in daemon mode and find all the data I might need thru the logs - 












































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































I'm learning to use LNAV to find anything in those logs quickly... but that IS 
new to me, so...

Was thinking maybe I'd have better luck with tmux... or, maybe screen ISN'T 
running in xterm 256 color mode or... something; so I might be able to learn 
the WHY and fix it while still using screen - but... this is where I'm at 
today. At least I was able to FIX the issue... but I'm a little lost w/o the 
Mystic server screen.... really, why?? I just use it to look over my events; 
which I can do in the logs.. so. Hmmmm. I'm fine; but I always strive to KNOW 
the whys and understand things.

Ok, I'll stop. :P Any thoughts or input is welcome.
