    Hello all,
    I am not sure if this is if I have something setup wrong, of if there is an issue with one of the features in the Archive Viewer in Mystic.
    When view an archive, there is an option to download one of the files in the archive by pressing CTRL-D, but this does not do anything, in fact many of the menu's that have a option to press CTRL-something does not seem to work. This only happens when view the BBS in ANSI mode. if I were to switch to ASCII, the option to download a file from within a zip works by pressing "D" and the typing out the filename. I tried to search the wiki for any help with this, but was not able to find anything. I also tried to find something in the ansiview.ini file in case there was something I can change the menu command as it may be an issue with using the control key.
    Has anyone else had this issue? is there something that can be changed to correct this.
    I also tried to logon to another Mystic BBS, and seems to have the same issue.

    I've also noticed this (and notified g00r00 about it earlier on) -- I believe that function simply hasn't been implemented yet.

    Two other ones that don't work for me are:

    [from amsghlp1.asc; Message Index Listing help]
    Ctrl-R = Move to the next page
    Ctrl-C = Move to the previous page

    Not sure if the terminal could affect this in any way (I'm using SyncTERM 1.0 which is a bit old).

    Best regards

    I also have the same issue.. I can view a file but not download it. My setup is the stock mystic entries so I'm assuming I need to spend some time figuring it out. I also can't pull DIZ's from RAR files. I just haven't spent the time on it yet.

    I thought it might also be the terminal but I did test it on both Syncterm and Netrunner, same results.

    I think its just simply broken.

    Not actually broken more like its unfinished - I put that CTRL-D there but then never finished the download option I believe
