I tried that many times without success. Maybe that is something new with
version 48?
I am running version 47. I want to upgrade, but I am afraid of screwing things
up and
losing everything.

in my case A48's daily message database maintenance messed up user message
pointers..every day your QWK packet would have a huge portion of old messages
in it..

i'm not sure messing with it is worth it just to speed up a process you might
do once a year

I was wrong when I said I was using A47. It is A48, but I still have the
problem of not being able to Tab the various downlinks and link them to a
specific conference area or globally to all of the conference areas. I can tab
for other functions, but not for the Export To: field.

Other than that, I love Mystic!

I just re-read my response, and I was wrong.. What you need to do is tab over
each message base you want to do a global change to, when all are chosen cursor
back up and hit /G for Global, once that is done, you will get a menu which
allows you to change any item and all of the chosen messages bases will be
changed.. I knew I forgot something.. ;)

A48 is solid, I have been running it now since it's release. A49 had issues at
first, I believe g00r00 fixed the major issues before he got busy again.. In
additon to my last message, here goes, after hitting the /G to global change
when you get the menu cursor down to Export Add, change the NO to a YES by
hitting enter then cursor over to Export Add and hit enter then choose the
echomail nodes you want to export to. I use this function anytime I add a new
net and it works fine.. Let me know if you need any assistance with it I can
show you in a zoom meet or jitsi meet (I use Jitsi more then zoom).
