So I figured out, I think, the problem and came up with a temp fix for this 
issue.  Any other I originally posted I did not see any messages from as I had 
an issue with message tossing that I've since fixed for TQWnet.

1.  The Netrunner nr21_l64.zip on http://www.mysticbbs.com/downloads/
    adds 132x37 support however I am unable to get Topaz nor Codepageswitc
    to work.
2.  Netrunner nr20_l64.zip on the same page does not support 132x37
    however the Amiga fonts are built into the terminal (not as many as
    Syncterm but there are Amiga fonts such as Topaz ..).
3.  I had to copy and paste the ANSI code into the ansi file to get it  
    to work, I was unable to do so with pipe code | SF03 to turn on
    Topaz.  It was a bit more work but my cool light bar menu works (for
    me anyway ..)
4.  For some reason my codepageswitch.ans was either corrupt or who 
    knows ... but it wasn't restoring prior to backing out of my message
    menu to my main menu. A simple copy of the same file over from The     
Ruins to the Underground's text directory did the trick.  The Ruins
    is running on v47 while The Underground is on v49.  

So now I have 3 terminal programs I'm using (hehe ..) to get TUG tight
and right.  The Ruins is up on www.theunderground.us:9707 for those who
want to check it out.  No FTN's but some neat stuff I had done at one 
time.

As for my other issues, I noticed Apam reply to mL who had replied to me.  
However, I did not see your reply Meatlotion.  I had a tossing issue where I 
had moved from ~/mystic/msgs/ to ~/mystic/msgs/tqwnet to better organize my FTN 

























































































files within /msgs.  Mystic did not like that without me performing some voodoo 

























































































magic that managed to work for all networks except MetroNet (still not tossing 
mail  .. blah ..) So if someone had suggested other fixes, I didn't see them :( 

























































































I'll try a rescan.

Apam, what do the cool kids use to log in new to your BBS?
