Gotcha on this...

What is happening is in another post I alluded to an issue I am having with MRC the main file is not wrapping to 80 column like it did in A46 and before, I have gotten a mrcscrl.ini to use which works on a brand new install I did but doesn't work on my upgraded system. I am using netrunner as my term program, 80x24 screen as is the setup for Mystic.. When I try to run another MPL InterBBS oneliners, when I try to view the listing it doesn't work either, but I can add to it with no issues. I am just getting the feeling now that something did not upgrade properly. On the new install if I go into Config, and drop down into Themes/Prompts, if I choose option 4 display files, when I choose a file to display it asks 80 or 120 column, my upgraded system does not ask this, it goes straight to the screen..
LOL Have I confused you yet?!!?! LOL It's just driving me nuts that I can't get this going properly. I upgraded via the docs using the install routines, then even did it manually replacing files, so I know all of the files have been replaced. 

Thanks again for the response..
