    1. when removing a ghost node in nodespy, it doesnt remove it in the mis server.

    2. when using pablo draw and editing an ansi with mystic control codes and saving it, mystic doesnt place the cursor in the current position.

    I use this batch file:

    REM place this in your mystic root directory
    REM it will clear borked nodes and restart the Mystic server
    Echo on
    cd data
    if exist chat*.dat del chat*.dat
    echo >> result allnodes cleared
    C:
    CD \MYSTIC
    exit

    It's been a long time but I think if you load it up in Thedraw and save it using "home cursor" that might do the trick. You can also use the control
    codes [X## and [Y## to tell Mystic where to place the cursor, although I have had mixed results with that. I use it in a couple of places to tell Mystic where to place the prompt and sometimes it's spot on but others it is up one line (same ansi, different times). Not sure what's up with that so for the
    time being I'm ignoring it.

    You have to do a 'Kick User'. 'Kick User' kills the connection, whereas
    'Kill Ghost' cleans up the data files that show up as ghost connections.

    Pablodraw doesn't save mystic control codes. You have to add all mystic control codes with a different editor AFTER you save your ansi in pablo draw.

    kill user should do the same thing.

    no the codes are in there. you need to go back and remove the sauce.
