Ok... I know I must be looking in the wrong place -- but I've created a theme with fallbacks to the default theme files, and then I've modified prompts through the -cfg interface.

But I need to go in and tweaks some of the ansi, e.g. open up the prompts file using the mystic ansi editor. But I only see prompts.dat in the
main mystic/data directory (and prompts.bak), and the files appear to contain none of my modifications. And there doesn't appear to be a prompts.dat file in my theme directory... But I know my edits are working -- so they have to be saved somewhere. Question is: where?

Any help appreciated!

Oi, found the file -- it's in the main theme dir with a .bak extension and contains just the prompt overrides, which is awesome. Makes total sense. My bad.

Your theme's prompts that you've changed from the default are saved in the theme's directory. Do not ever directly edit prompts.dat (or anything in the DATA folder for the most part) as you will end up losing those changes when
new prompts are added.

Thank you. Are there any potential problems with editing/saving the theme's modified prompt file in mystic's ansi editor?

Yes because its not an ANSI file. If you want to edit it in a text editor you can use a text editor, Mystic's text editor, or you can use Mystic's prompt editor (which will eventually open a prompt in the ANSI editor).

borked, so good to know!!
