Sure, maybe when I dd the search and it resulted on that I isnatlled xterm, my

It's justs tests, I've come a long way to try to get synchro to behave as I
want, so I'm just testing if golded works, but first I'm trying to figure out
how to access my message base from Golded.... problem for another day for now
at least netmail is what I want to ghet to work, as you suggest one step at a
time.

One this regarding this:
O pulled the GoldED+ (/home/sbbs/golded-plus) repo -- no changes except
mygolded.h -- and compiled my version binaries and everything is where it's
su[pposed to be *but* I added ../golded-plus/bin to my $PATH so I can start it
from anywhere, maybe that's why my golded.cfg ffile is under my home
directory, plus when I first started golded for the first time, I used gedlnx
-INSTALL and used that basic config that's where the OPUS Netmail is coming
from.
See this:
sbbs@bbs:~$ ls
gedlngus.cfg golded.cfg golded.msg golded.tpl golduser.lst simple.cfg
golded.bak golded.log golded-plus goldlast.lst semaphores termcap
sbbs@bbs:~$ whoami
sbbs
sbbs@bbs:~$ pwd
/home/sbbs
sbbs@bbs:~$ hostname
bbs
sbbs@bbs:~$

This is where I think I'm going wrong... for instance Angel Ripoll and others
said they create a bash and I start my golded just like any other app, so can
it happen that golded if I do not start it with -C/home/sbbs/golded.cfg is
looking and loading its config from $HOME/golded-plus/bin?.

Trust me been there, done that, I've turned all knobs at once and boom!. So
for now even if no areas show up, it's fine, I just want to get it to show
properly and again mention this happens over ssh eitehr using SecureCRT or
PuTTY

Yup, I've tried to play around with that but even if areas show on golded when
I try sending a message program crashes with file not found, but again, I'm
just starting and there's a lot in my plate... I finmally could get synchro to
work and I can send/receive read echomail and netmail from within the BBS, but
I want to work with golded, I always liked it as message editor, but firts I
want to get it to display and work properly.

Thanks and again sorry if you don't see my tearline/origin, this is the
windows version and I've redet the golded.cfg many times...
