Configuring System Paths

This section of the Mystic BBS Configuration System allows the SysOp to configure a number of system paths for the BBS software. These paths are usually set up when the software is installed but can be changed at any stage.

This example is from a Windows based system and displays the standard 'out of the box' pathways that ship with the default installation.
