The following steps can be used to make using Mystic a joy with OSX's Terminal.App so that a simple login icon can be created to log right into your BBS, or type ./mystic on the command prompt will give you a nice looking and working BBS login. This guide was written using OSX Lion, so some option names may change in future versions.

1. Open the Terminal.app and use the top window bar to select “Terminal > Preferences”
2. Set the style to “Pro” to give a decent starting point, with a black background, etc.
3. Now we need to fix the keys so that home/end/pageup/pagedown works in the BBS instead of moving the stupid terminal scrollback! Do this by clicking on the keyboard tab and make the following changes:

     Key: End
     Modifier: None
     Action: Send String to Shell
     Text: (ESCAPE) [ K (press those keys and it should read \033[K )
     
     Now do the same for HOME but set it to (ESCAPE)[H  (it should read \033[H)

     Now do the same for PAGEDOWN but set it to (ESCAPE)[6~ (it should read \033[6~)
     
     Now do the same for PAGEUP but set it to (ESCAPE)[5~ (it should read \033[5~)
