 Am> I cannot get cross-post option when ESC is pressed for menu.

 Am> /c no longer works as documented in readme ctrl-c doesn't trigger
 Am> cross-post either
 Am> The following history mentions as can_post setting
 Am> a sub-board, SlyEdit now checks the can_post property of the
 Am> sub-board rather than checking the ARS.  The can_post

 Am> Is this can_post property within Message Area settings (toggle)? why would
 Am> it not be on my default ?

That can_post is a property of each sub-board and signifies whether the user ha spermission to post in that sub-board.  That has no relation to whether cross-posting is enabled in SlyEdit.

 Am> Another sysop using 1.75 of slyedit these cross-post options work. So
 Am> wonder if something changed between 1.75 and the current 1.89c.

 Am> I've downloaded latest fix about slycfg; and confirmed config file is
 Am> being changed and read; by changing theme colors. The SlyEdit.cfg has
 Am> allowCrossPosting=true

I'm not sure, as it's working as expected for me.  When talking to you on IRC yesterday, it sounded to me like there may be a permissions issue where the sbbs process (which SlyEdit runs in) might be unable to read your SlyEdit.cfg in sbbs/mods, as you said you were making some other configuration changes that didn't get picked up when you ran SlyEdit.  On IRC, you said you were going to look into that.
