    Okay, it's probably me, but I'm still having a hard time getting the files to output. I can get the file groups to list, but I can't seem to get the files themselves to show up.

    Basically, I just want to cycle through all of the file names and
    descriptions with each group they're listed under. I actually realized I
    don't need the paths (which I also got to work, heh) because I'm symlinking
    the files so downloads are possible through the Mystic HTTP server.

    I can usually figure out what to do given enough documentation, but I'm
    having a hard time trying to figure things out even with the example on the Mystic wiki for the simple file lister.

    I don't know how to help but I am willing to! Do you have a small chunk of code you can share or something specific I can help you with?

    Mystic comes with the filelist.mpy that shows how to list files in a file
    base but it sounds like you've already found that.

    I'm trying to adapt the code you provided about listing the groups, using the filelist.mpy for listing files. Without documentation on it though, I'm kind
    of just taking random stabs in the dark.

    I'm not sure what I should be using to output the file listings. I know I can use getfbase somehow, but I'm not sure how. The example you have in the sample mpy show how to list files based on a user's selected file base, but again,
    I'm not sure how to just cycle through all the files listed in each file group/base.
