   + Mystic now logs whenever a Python script is executed.
+  + New Python function "getuserid(ID)" returns a user dictionary of the user
+   associated with ID.  If no user is found it will return None:
+     import mystic_bbs as bbs;
+     user = bbs.getuserid(1)
+     if not user is None:
+       bbs.writeln(user["handle"]);
+  + New Python function "getmbase(num)" returns a Message Base dictionary of
+   the record physically located at (num).  This example will print all of
+   the message bases out:
+     import mystic_bbs as bbs;
+     count = 0;
+     while not bbs.shutdown():
+       mbase = bbs.getmbase(count);
+       if mbase is None:
+         break;
+       bbs.writeln(mbase["name"]);
+       count = count + 1;
+     bbs.writeln("List complete. |PA");
+  + New Python function "getmbaseid(ID)" returns a Message Base dictionary of
+   the Message Base with ID of (ID).
+  + New Python functions for reading Message Bases:
+     msg_open, msg_seek, msg_found, msg_next, msg_prev, msg_gethdr,
+     msg_gettxt, msg_close
+    Rather than try to document them all here there is a "msgread.mpy"
+    in the default Mystic installation as an example of how to use these
+    functions. This example implements a very basic message reader using the
+    user's current message base. Check out the 'related links' section on this
+    Wiki page to see an example of this script.
