The global change is a little tricky..

Once you have tagged areas with the tab key and gone into the global editor you
need to change the "No" to "Yes" for the options you want to change, set them as you want them to be, and then hit <Ctrl>U to make the change.

I think if you take it step by step you'll have better results. Don't exit out of the global editor until you hit <Ctrl>U. Nothing is changed until you hit <Ctrl>U.

1. Select the areas you want to change with the tab key
2. Press "/G" to go into the global editor
3. Select yes for the option(s) you want to change
4. Make the changes you want to make
5. Press <Ctrl>U and your changes will be saved.

Don't escape out of the global editor without pressing <Ctrl>U, or nothing will
change.

I think you can only add or remove nodes one node at a time.

Al, thanks for respnding back to Terry on this. I was helping him and I can confirm this bug.

To replicate (maybe g00r00 will see this when he does a rev):
1. Open message base editor
2. Tab-select all message bases of interest
3. /G open global menu
4. Select Yes on add nodes
5. Tab select all your downlink nodes
6. *** Here is the tricky part *** To get back to the global main menu from
the node selection menu you have to hit Enter after selecting nodes in (5). Once to do this, it only selects the node your cursor/lightbar highlighted
not retaining the list of tab-selected nodes. This effectively negates the
mass selection of nodes.
7. Ctrl-U will update the node correctly, but again this is the node you hit enter on and not the entire list.

Since Terry only had about 20-25 downlinks, I just manually set them up individually. It's definitely a bug.

Additionally, a feature request for Mystic would be to allow you to areafix your nodes locally instead of having to use the global menu. But that's not a biggie.

Cheers,
Analog
