Al, thanks for respnding back to Terry on this. I was helping him and I can
confirm this bug. 

To replicate (maybe g00r00 will see this when he does a rev):
1. Open message base editor
2. Tab-select all message bases of interest
3. /G open global menu
4. Select Yes on add nodes
5. Tab select all your downlink nodes
6. *** Here is the tricky part *** To get back to the global main menu from
the node selection menu you have to hit Enter after selecting nodes in (5).
Once to do this, it only selects the node your cursor/lightbar highlighted
not retaining the list of tab-selected nodes. This effectively negates the
mass selection of nodes. 
7. Ctrl-U will update the node correctly, but again this is the node you hit
enter on and not the entire list.

Since Terry only had about 20-25 downlinks, I just manually set them up
individually. It's definitely a bug.

Additionally, a feature request for Mystic would be to allow you to areafix
your nodes locally instead of having to use the global menu. But that's not a
biggie.

Cheers,
Analog
