In this case, no.

Had I gotten someone saying "?RTFM" and a link to the relevant information, in any capacity, that would have been a welcome answer, as it would have actually been helpful. Inststead I was given what can be summed up as a "people won't care so don't bother" response, which I consider quite defeatist.

Given that I could not find the relevant information, in the docs, nor did anyone point such out that I may have missed, I an only presume the actions I wished to take are not documented in any meaningful way I could find, hence why I asked in the the net which is most apt for that software package.  My post was actually my best inferrance on how the process would work, and I was hoping to get even just a simple "yeah, you got it" or a "no, you have to do this" but instead got what I got..

I should have asked here, or on another net, but given that the network I inquired in is the "home" of that software, in a sense, it made sense to ask there. When you combine that kind of reaction to me wanting to create something with the other abject hostility of a rather unregylated area, and other minor issues which many people have reported have been ignored, I decided it was best to go to something else.

I perhaps could have put a bit more detail on the correlation between the group and the software, but I felt it was of minimal value -- the better thing for me to enjoy running a BBS and creating new things was to change software to a package that I felt would be better for my future goals.

So far it seems I was right about this change, and am enjoying Mystic greatly. Still has a learning curve but the documentation is better and I've seen in the past few years on fsxNet how helpful its fan and dev base can be.

In the end, isn't that what matters? Being able to do what you want with a BBS package and enjoying the experience with cool people? That wasn't happening for me previously, and is now.
