structures. One thing I don't want it to do is escape the the BBS directory and maybe muck up the OS drives, and I have to put some safeguards in to prevent that from happening.

In my BBS in my /mystic/files/ directory I have symlinks to various dirs on different nas shares as the disk for mystic itself doesn't have much storage, so my downloadable files are on separate disks/nas shares and accessed via symlinks.

Would restricting MC to only work out of the Mystic dir prevent it
working inside symlinked dirs?

Good point. I gues the only way to know is to try it. I might just go about releaseing it and see what feedback I get.

I am ready to test ^^. Managed to get Midnight Commander working in Mystic Sysop menu but the TTY/Terminal got messed up.

Soo this sounds pretty cool as a enhancement!

I went ahead and packaged it up for release. mystic-commanderv10.zip. This is the initial beta release. I'm sure there's lots of bugs that can be squashed.
