Had a big ol' explainy reply for ya, had to delete the entire thing just to say 
this: open your Mystic preuser.ans in a text editor (I'm assuming you're 
talking about the default one) and in the top-left of the file you'll see 
<pipe>16<pipe>CL (real pipe codes, not literally <pipe>). Delete the <pipe>CL 
part, et voila!
