Changing to JAM now,

*Manually* just like in the good old '90s, ARAEASEP?... huh, can you share a 
like or a sample golded.cfg, looking into creating something more than what I 
have ATM. and that was my followup question: I want to separate mail from Fido, 
FSX and Micronet, but how, AREASEP?. Akso, how do I deal with areas, as my node 
is updating constantly with all new areas that receive new mail and are 
autocreated, how do I prepend like FIDO: FSX:, do I make my own areas.bbs with 
descriptions as you suggest?. whjat about that goldareas.txt file Mystic 
exports?, I tried to use that with GoldED and got empty list.

GOLDKEYS.CFG, huh, interesting, any MAGIC I can use to get a copy?.

Yup, just like I did with a batch I created to run 'mis', before I do it 
executes 'mutil mailout', will take your advice, oh yeah!.

 DG>> It did and thanks, now I need to get it set to play along iwth

 Ac> No worries, and glad it helped!

 Ac> Golded plays very nice with Mystic. You just have to remember it's an

Semaphores, that was the key back in the Golded+fastecho+frontdoor era.
