I can run it but it just returns to command prompt with no output,

The sample config will not work without adjustments.
And that applies to all other shared configs too.

know I am probably missing a step, but reading the docs have
proven to be difficult. Can anyone give me some direction?

Sure. RTFM. Nobody said it have to be easy. ;-)

Create an empty directory. If gedlnx is not in your path just copy
gedlnx into it. You can create a minimal config with ./gedlnx -INSTALL

There is a no show bug in case of config errors that can be worked
around with "gedlnx > /dev/null". (keep the output into file "gedlnx > output.txt")

I'm going to try this

Golded can have an advanced config. The group system, the charset
system, the template system, the random system. You should start with
a minimum and configure the features you need one after another.

This was supposed to reach me and now I get why I missed so so many replies to my question... I didn't think one could move gedlnx by itslef to some random dir and run it from there.

I'll try that and sww what I get.

Although, I did try different TERM setting and found out that xterm draws the UI with some of the ble lines on messages missing, backspace doesn't work properly, NUM PAD doesn't work either, ALT+S, F-kjeys do not work, so I got halfway there.

Regards

Many thanks

Well awesome. Got somewhere with the instructions!

So, I have a basic install and the program started. I have the
AREADEF file of my Mystic file areas. How do I include that so I
my message areas show.

Taking this from advice given to me by Mick, I think...

I did this and worked for me, just make sure your golded.cfg or template
have the Origin and TEARLINE set properly because I found out that
parameter is not exported by Mystic so, bare that in mind.

I'm using Mystic on windows but should be the same on linux.

If you'd like full access to your message bases, without having to
do multiple AREADEF lines, you probably need to create an AREAS.BBS from Mystic, and then use AREAFILE to point to that..

1) Create areas.bbs from Mystic, and remember where you created it.
2) Comment out all of your AREADEF lines in /this/ golded.cfg.
3) When all AREADEF lines are commented out: In the same golded.cfg:

REAFILE AREASBBS /path/to/areas.bbs
