====== Terminal / Command Prompt Configuration ======

In Unix-Based environments, the operating system terminal settings can often times be tweaked to allow for more accurate looking local login's to the BBS simply by typing "./mystic" on the command prompt. Mystic has the option to run in the local console in both traditional CP437 or UTF8 modes, allowing for many different ways to configure a terminal to work well locally.

In Windows, the default installation will often include inaccurate DOS colors and some non-optimal settings for the command prompt.  The good news is that these colors and options can easily be set by closing your command prompts and importing a registry file to set more DOS accurate colors and options.

Please see the following sections for more detailed information based on your operating system:
