    Hi,

    in the last "whats news" (a49) the term "FS Editor" keeps cropping up.
    Which of the many editors of Mystic BBS is meant here?

    More than likely, it's referencing the full screen (FS) message editor (when you're writing/replying to a message). I believe there's also a line editor, but I've never used it. Otherwise, anything else being described would be more specific (ie: ansi editor, base editors, etc).

    Hi,

    okay, FS is the short form from "full screen". That makes sense.

    That's correct. Then, when "full screen" or "FS" is referenced in Mystic, it usually also means that everything happens on that one full screen (ie: scrolling, alt-key combinations for help screen and other tasks, etc).

    When using the traditional (non-full screen) version of anything that has a counterpart, it'll be line by line, and will scroll off the screen.
