Sure, maybe when I dd the search and it resulted on that I

It`s justs tests, I`ve come a long way to try to get synchro to
behave as I want, so I`m just testing if golded works, but first I`m
trying to figure out how to access my message base from Golded.... problem
for another day for now at least netmail is what I want to ghet to
work, as you suggest one step at a time.

One this regarding this:
O pulled the GoldED+ (/home/sbbs/golded-plus) repo -- no changes
except mygolded.h -- and compiled my version binaries and everything is
where it`s su[pposed to be *but* I added ../golded-plus/bin to my $PATH
so I can start it from anywhere, maybe that`s why my golded.cfg ffile
is under my home directory, plus when I first started golded for the
first time, I used gedlnx -INSTALL and used that basic config that`s
where the OPUS Netmail is coming from.
See this:
sbbs@bbs:~$ ls
gedlngus.cfg golded.cfg golded.msg golded.tpl golduser.lst simple.cfg
golded.bak golded.log golded-plus goldlast.lst semaphores termcap
sbbs@bbs:~$ whoami
sbbs
sbbs@bbs:~$ pwd
/home/sbbs
sbbs@bbs:~$ hostname
bbs
sbbs@bbs:~$

This is where I think I`m going wrong... for instance Angel Ripoll
and others said they create a bash and I start my golded just like
any other app, so can it happen that golded if I do not start it
with -C/home/sbbs/golded.cfg is looking and loading its config from
$HOME/golded-plus/bin?.

Trust me been there, done that, I`ve turned all knobs at once and
boom!. So for now even if no areas show up, it`s fine, I just want to
get it to show properly and again mention this happens over ssh eitehr
using SecureCRT or PuTTY

Yup, I`ve tried to play around with that but even if areas show
on golded when I try sending a message program crashes with file not
found, but again, I`m just starting and there`s a lot in my plate... I
finmally could get synchro to work and I can send/receive read echomail and
netmail from within the BBS, but I want to work with golded, I always
liked it as message editor, but firts I want to get it to display and
work properly.

Thanks and again sorry if you don`t see my tearline/origin, this is
the windows version and I`ve redet the golded.cfg many times...
