   Except for %rescan, the standard areafix commands will work, like:   
      
   +tagname and -tagname..   
      
   I usually tell people to use the regexp features so they don't get areas they   
   don't want turned on - though it's better now over here since I've deleted so   
   many dead/old msg. areas .   
      
   I think the %rescan may be more of a dog to enable in BBBS's areafix since it   
   manages both file and message areas, but that's just a guess.. :)   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
