   Hello everybody!

So I was tryinmg to find out a way to integrate GoldED+ and Mystic to get along and whenever I credted or replied to a message there was a way to *do something* to let Mystic there was mail to send out so thanks to the good people from this board and FSX_MYS and their advice I came up with this solution which hope works for you guys.

NOTE:
"
      F11 ExternUtil01
      F12 ExternUtil02

    Then if you press F11, you would call external utility number 1
    and so on. The ExternUtilNN keywords ONLY work in reader mode, not
    in the internal editor or any other place."

So you *must* be on reader mode to be able to use these keys.

My golded.cfg reads:

<snip>
; On reading mode create SEMAPHORES FOR NETMAIL(F10) AND ECHOMAIL(F11)
; Mystic (mis -server) constantly checks for these SEMAPHORES and will poll uplinks
; and send mail.
EXTERNUTIL 10 -PauseOnError   "echo a > D:\BBS\mystic\semaphore\netmail.out"
EXTERNUTIL 11 -PauseOnError   "echo a > D:\BBS\mystic\semaphore\echomail.out"
; Whenever I exit ouy of GoldED and messages were written, SEMAPHORES are created
; and mail sent out
SEMAPHORE NETSCAN          D:\BBS\mystic\semaphore\netmail.out
SEMAPHORE ECHOSCAN         D:\BBS\mystic\semaphore\echomail.out
</snip>

Now to actually map the kesys to the functions

goldkeys.cfg
F10            ExternUtil10
F11            ExternUtil11

It works for me --I ahve a mental thing that I have to make it work at all cost-- and any improvements/suggestions willl be more than welcome.

I read you can Integrate it into the ALT+S menu, but that's for another day.

Regards
