Configuring Mystic BBS can initially seem a bit daunting, but take heart, it's really quite simple!

There are essentially two places that you should review and configure your Mystic BBS system:

• The Mystic Utilities MUTIL system that allows for .ini configuration files to created to enable multiple Mystic BBS functions.

• The Mystic BBS Configuration System which can be accessed by invoking the following command:

MYSTIC -CFG

This section of the Wiki focuses on the Mystic BBS configuration system and the various menu options available to you.

There are several top level menu options you can select from:
