   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..
