 Mystic BBS has a completely configurable and incredibly flexible menu system that allows for full control over the visual appearance and functionality of the BBS.  Each menu consists of the basic settings, and a list of menu commands that define what options are available on each menu.  These menu commands can then be assigned one or many "actions" to perform when the item is selected.  Each action may also have parameters that can be or will be required to be specified in the "data" field.
 This section contains a reference to all of the menu actions available in your Mystic BBS as well as any information needed that relates to those actions.

 ===== EXTERNAL DOORS =====
-Mystic BBS supports DOOR.SYS, CHAIN.TXT, and DORINFO1.DEF DOS-based door formats, as well as Mystic's own native DOOR32.SYS format for modern BBS doors and games.  These drop files are always created in the node's specific temporary directory.  For example, if a door is executed on node 1, then the drop files will be created in the temp1 temporary directory.
+Mystic BBS supports DOOR.SYS, CHAIN.TXT, and DORINFO1.DEF DOS-based door formats, as well as Mystic's own native DOOR32.SYS format for modern BBS doors and games.  These drop files are always created in the node's specific temporary directory.  For example, if a door is executed on node 1, then the drop files will be created in the node's temporary directory "temp1" that is created off of the root Mystic BBS directory (ie c:\mystic\temp1\)

+In the Linux and macOS versions, Mystic automatically redirects the standard input and output of external programs, allowing many programs that are not even designed for BBSes to be used.  From a technical perspective it forks and executes your command line with /bin/sh then creates a watchdog on the child process so that it can help trap lost connections even for programs that cannot detect those types of things natively (like a BBS door would).  It is important to understand that commands are not executed from bash when Mystic runs them, they are executing the system shell.  In other words, if you want to test a command line you should test it accordingly outside of Mystic by executing: /bin/sh -c <Your command line here> to see if it works.
 Each door action has a command line which will be executed by the operating system when the action is executed.  There are a number of codes that Mystic will replace with specific values if they are found in the command line:

+All of the door menu commands have a helper function to allow switching
+directories without relying on scripting or operating system commands.  If
+"CD<directory>" is used in the command line (without the quotes), Mystic

+prior to executing the command line.
+Mystic tracks the number of doors opened by a user when using a DOOR menu command.  Door command lines can have a /NOSTAT at the end of the command line in optional data to tell Mystic not to increment the users door count.

 The following menu commands related to the Message Bases and reading/posting of messages.
+**MA - Change Message Area**
+  Data: # + - NOLIST
+  This menu command allows the user to change to a new message area.  If
+  no optional data is present, then a list of message areas will be shown
+  to the user.
+  If the + sign is on the optional data field, Mystic will select the
+  next available message area that the user has access to.
+  If the - sign is on the optional data field, Mystic will select the
+  previous available message area that the user has access to.
+  If NOLIST is provided on the optional data field, Mystic will prompt the
+  user to select a message area but will not show the list of areas unless
+  the user asks to see it by entering ? to list.
+  If a message area Unique ID is presented on the option data field, Mystic
+  will change to the message area that is linked to the supplied unique ID.
+**MC - Check Private Local E-mail**
+  Data: /NOLIST /UNREAD /SCAN
+  This menu command checks the user's private e-mail box for messages and
+  provides a list of all messages in the private mailbox followed by a
+  prompt asking the user if they would like to read the messages.
+  If the /NOLIST option is supplied on the optional data field, Mystic will
+  skip listing the messages and go directly to reading new e-mail messages.
+  If the /UNREAD option is supplied, Mystic will list only messages that are
+  flagged as "unread" in the list and prompt only if there are unread
+  messages.
+  If the /SCAN option is supplied, Mystic will silently calculate the values
+  of the waiting and unread mail values without any interaction with the user.
+  These value can then be displayed with the MW or MU MCI codes.
+**MD - Set Message Last Read By Date**
+  Data: /ALL
+  This menu command allows the user to set their "last read" message in
+  each message base by inputting a date.  After a valid date is supplied
+  Mystic will ask the user if they would like to set this date for the
+  current base or all bases.  If the user selects all bases, then every
+  message base regardless of group will be updated.
+  If the /ALL optional data is provided, Mystic will skip the prompt and
+  update all message bases with the user supplied date.
+**MF - View/Scan Draft Messages**
+  Data: /SCAN
+  When posting a message, users will have the option to save a message as
+  a draft and resume the message post at another time.
+  If a user loses their session for any reason such as a disconnection or
+  they run out of session time while posting a message, Mystic will also
+  automatically save a draft of their message post.
+  This option will present a list of available saved draft messages and
+  provide the user the ability to continue a post or remove the draft
+  message.
+  If the /SCAN option is provided on the optional data field, Mystic will
+  scan and if there are draft message saved, it will ask the user if they
+  would like to resume their draft messages.  If there are no draft
+  messages Mystic will do nothing.
+**MG - Change Message Group**
+  Data: "+", "-", <Group ID>, or None
+  This action will list the Message Groups that the user has access to,
+  excluding any groups flagged as "hidden" and then prompt the user to
+  select a group.
+  If the data is set to "+" then Mystic will move to the next available
+  message group.
+  If the data is set to "-" then Mystic will move to the previous available
+  message group.
+  If the Group Unique ID is supplied, Mystic will automatically change the
+  user into the specific message group.
+  When joining a message group, Mystic will display the "group#" display file
+  from the theme's text directory if it exists, where # is the group's ID.
+**MI - Message Index Reader**
+  Data: <template filename with no extension>, or None
+  The Message Base Index system presents users with a list of all message
+  bases along with statistics of total, new, personal messages for each
+  bases.  Users can scroll through and search through the list and select
+  bases to read, search, post, subscribe or unsubscribe from.
+  The data field provides the template name which if left blank defaults to
+  "msg_index" and points to the template file to load.  This field should
+  not include a file extension as .ini will be appended to it.
+  The template file contains all of the visual configurations for this
+  function as well as many other options that can completely customize the
+  experience.  For example, one could copy the default msg_index.ini
+  template to msg_change.ini, and then modify its visual and functional
+  settings so that it pops up a scroll box of message bases for the user to
+  change their current message base.
+  The same could be done to pop up a list of message bases that allows the
+  user to toggle which bases will be included in scans for new messages.  To
+  use these alternative templates, simply execute MI with the data field of
+  "msg_change" or whatever the custom template filename you've created is.
+  NOTE: Even if you do not use groups for anything, there needs to be
+  at least one message group created for the Index Reader to function.
+**ML - Browser/Search Network Nodelists**
+  Data: None
+  This command opens up a network node list browser which allows the user to
+  list FidoNet-style networks by Zone, Net, or search by Address or Text.
+**MM - Send Mass BBS E-mail**

+  current menu execution chain.  For example, if you have 4 menu commands
+  that all have the same hotkey and call -B on the second one, only the
+  first two commands will be run.  The 3rd and 4th menu command will be
+  skipped because the -B menu command breaks the chain of commands.

+  Data: /ADD <text>, <text>, or /RESET
+  This command sets the current menu''s Marquee text with the text contained
+  in the data field.  If the first 5 characters are "/ADD " in the data field
