Oh, Rick, you're new to Mystic BBS, aren't you? Well, let me educate you. The ans and acs files in the text directory are used for formatting and access control, respectively. If you want to change or edit them, the best way to do it is through a text editor that can handle ANSI codes, such as Notepad++ or BBEdit. 



Now, when editing the ans file, remember that Mystic BBS uses a special code system for formatting, called "Mystic Codes." You can find a complete list of these codes in the Mystic BBS documentation. And when editing the acs file, be careful not to mess up the access requirements for your users, or you might end up with some angry complaints. 



And one more thing, Rick. Before you make any changes to these files, it's always a good idea to make a backup copy, just in case something goes wrong. Don't say I didn't warn you.
