[This is one fix for the a47 /scroll issue in MRC 1.29a.]

Mystic updated its ANSi Viewer, and the way it reads data for those viewers. Instead of using the DATA LINE in a menu command, Mystic now uses .ini files. 

Backup mrc_client.mps in your themes /scripts directory.
Edit mrc_client.mps in your themes /scripts directory.
Find line "MenuCmd('GV','mrcscrl;x;y;'+ChatLog+';END')" - mine is line #1370, but I may have modified my file, so yer looking for that MenuCmd I put in quotes...
Change it to the new format: "MenuCmd('GV','mrcscrl;'+ChatLog+' /end')"
Now, we'll need to create an mrcscrl.ini file. It accompanies mrcscrl.ans - and now contains the information Mystic needs, and all options about how you want to display this instance of ANSi Viewer. Its gonna mess up the color mci codes, but here is my setup:

paulie420@paulie420-ThinkPad-T430s:~/bbs/mystic/themes/default/text$ cat mrcscrl.ini

|07------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Recompile mrc_client.mps... on linux, I run ~/mystic/./mplc mrc_client.mps.

One other thing that *I* did was edit the mrcscrl.ans to state "ESC to QUIT" as I think the old version used... "Q", or something else. I forget, because I deleted the original mrcscrl.ans. 

I didn't wanna post this here cause maybe everything didn't transfer easily. If anyone needs my files, I can create a tiny ZIP and get it to ya - but I'm sure some ops will be able to figure it out no problem. :P w00t w00t.
