In my Golded/Synchronet setting I use msgs.ini for my message areas. When I do that Golded reads a group numbers of 0,1,2 3, etc. Agoranet for example is 0. So it would be nice to use the Golded "areasep" key word to define the "Areas". This would make Golded easier on the eyes.

As for that ^^^^^^^^^^ Not sure what happened there.

I do. When I switch to Mystic I use the Golded keyword in the multi stanza and create a goldedareas.txt that Golded can read. When I do that it puts a group number of 0 for all areas. That also would be nice to have Mystic actually put a sperate group ID for each area, but can't have everything. :-)
