    From neo67@21:2/136 to All on Thu Jul 24 09:31:07 2025
    Hello all,

    I am currently trying to get started with MPL and am looking for a list of all Mystic configuration variables, such as:

    - CfgThemePath
    - CfgTextFB....


    Thanks for your help.

    Jump over to chatgpt and ask this question, it lists a whole bunch.

    So I start which I found. I edit a script and compile it, if a CFG is not present, then you will get an error.

    I created the 'newest' documentation - and tutor files; around 21 of them - on 2oFB... if you search 'MPL DOC'... the zip is something like MPL_2022.ZIP.

    It includes info about MPL, MPY (xqtr) and tutors (black panther) along with additions from whatsnew.txt of the Mystic releases not covered in the original docs...

    Thanks Pauli,

    is your new file a local or net-file?
    I found the mpl_112a36.zip, I think your docu is based on this informationen.

    In the mpl_112a36.doc are the following CFGs listed:

    CFGSYSPATH : System Path
    CFGDATAPATH : Data Path
    CFGMSGSPATH : Message Base Path
    CFGPROTPATH : Protocol Path
    CFGQWKPATH : Local QWK Path
    CFGMPEPATH : Script (MPE) Path
    CFGATTPATH : File Attach Path
    CFGLOGSPATH : System Logs Path
    CFGTEXTPATH : Text Files Path (for the current language)
    CFGTEMPPATH : Temp path for the current node
    CFGMENUPATH : Menu Files Path (for the current language)
    CFGTIMEOUT :
    CFGSEEINVIS : Gives the "See Invisible" ACS value
    CFGTNNODES : Number of max telnet nodes to allow
    CFGNETDESC[1..30] : Give the network descriptions.

    So I start which I found. I edit a script and compile it, if a CFG is not present, then you will get an error.

    To be sure and found them all... first, you do this (in linux terminal):

    strings mplc | grep -i cfg

    This will spit out, every "cfg" reference that the MPLC program has. And then use this script based on yours to see each one.

    uses cfg

    function bool2str(b:boolean):string;
    begin
    if b then bool2str:='True'
    else bool2str:='False';
    end;

    begin

    writeln('cfgsyspath: '+ cfgsyspath);
    writeln('cfgdatapath: '+ cfgdatapath);
    writeln('cfglogspath: '+ cfglogspath);
    writeln('cfgmsgspath: '+ cfgmsgspath);
    writeln('cfgthemepath: '+ cfgthemepath);
    writeln('cfgqwkpath: '+ cfgqwkpath);
    writeln('cfgmenupath: '+ cfgmenupath);
    writeln('cfgtextpath: '+ cfgtextpath);
    writeln('cfgmpepath: '+ cfgmpepath);
    writeln('cfgtemppath: '+ cfgtemppath);
    writeln('cfgsemapath: '+ cfgsemapath);
    writeln('cfgtimeout: '+ int2str(cfgtimeout));
    writeln('cfgseeinvis: '+ cfgseeinvis);
    writeln('cfgtnnodes: '+ int2str(cfgtnnodes));
    writeln('cfgchatstart: '+ int2str(cfgchatstart));
    writeln('cfgchatend: '+ int2str(cfgchatend));
    writeln('cfglogintries: '+ int2str(cfglogintries));
    writeln('cfgpwtries: '+ int2str(cfgpwtries));
    writeln('cfgechochar : '+ cfgechochar);
    writeln('cfgdeftheme: '+ cfgdeftheme);
    writeln('cfgtextfb: '+ cfgtextfb);
    writeln('cfgscriptfb: '+ cfgscriptfb);
    writeln('cfgpfallback: '+ bool2str(cfgpfallback));
    writeln('cfgtfallback: '+ bool2str(cfgtfallback));
    writeln('cfgmfallback: '+ bool2str(cfgmfallback));
    writeln('cfgsfallback: '+ bool2str(cfgsfallback));
    writeln('cfgnetdesc: '+ cfgnetdesc[0]);
    end.
