Well awesome. Got somewhere with the instructions!

So, I have a basic install and the program started. I have the AREADEF
file of my Mystic file areas. How do I include that so I my message
areas show.

I don't know Mystic so i can't help you further.

Sure. RTFM. Nobody said it have to be easy. ;-)

But helping others is what makes us humans, making other suffer as you did, is a show of envy and poor judgement.

Why, i don't understand what i did.

I really *hate it* when rtfm s**t shows up, yoy may know what OP is asking, I may not, but was it very difficult to reply with help?.

Didn't you noticed the Smiley?
Did you stop reading and start bashing directly after your trigger word?
Didn't you noticed my help was within the next lines?
I posted the no show bug solution that can't be found in the manuals yet.
I took the -INSTALL keyword from the manpages to get golded to minimal work.

Meanwhile this help was confirmed helpful by OP.

Sorry it had to be said and it neither requires, nor expect an
answer.

This is about *hrlping others* not feeling betters undermining others.

My help is still visible in your quotes.

And you delivered the reason why "RTFM" is a known shortcut. People spend a great amount of time to help other people by writing a documentation.

Especially open source fidonet software is not very userfriendly. I does require a personalized configuration sooner or later. To gain access to the already written help it is helpful to know how to handle the documentation, because the answer is only some search hits away.

If you disrespect others for not helping you should respect others for helping at least by reading their content. That's why rtfm is a legit advice. And yes, i know that rtfm is not easy in the beginning, that's why there is a smiley and the help in my answer.

Create an empty directory. If gedlnx is not in your path just
copy gedlnx into it. You can create a minimal config with
./gedlnx -INSTALL

There is a no show bug in case of config errors that can be
worked around with "gedlnx > /dev/null". (keep the output into
file "gedlnx > output.txt")

Golded can have an advanced config. The group system, the charset
system, the template system, the random system. You should start
with a minimum and configure the features you need one after
another.

I'm going to try this

This was supposed to reach me and now I get why I missed so so many replies to my question... I didn't think one could move gedlnx by itslef to some random dir and run it from there.

I'll try that and sww what I get.

Although, I did try different TERM setting and found out that xterm draws the UI with some of the ble lines on messages missing, backspace doesn't work properly, NUM PAD doesn't work either, ALT+S, F-kjeys do not work, so I got halfway there.

Regards

Many thanks

Taking this from advice given to me by Mick, I think...

I did this and worked for me, just make sure your golded.cfg or template
have the Origin and TEARLINE set properly because I found out that
parameter is not exported by Mystic so, bare that in mind.

I'm using Mystic on windows but should be the same on linux.

If you'd like full access to your message bases, without having to
do multiple AREADEF lines, you probably need to create an AREAS.BBS from Mystic, and then use AREAFILE to point to that..

1) Create areas.bbs from Mystic, and remember where you created it.
2) Comment out all of your AREADEF lines in /this/ golded.cfg.
3) When all AREADEF lines are commented out: In the same golded.cfg:

REAFILE AREASBBS /path/to/areas.bbs
