   i think he's thinking of autoadding new areas like fastecho and others can do   
   to their configs and to the bbses they support... no .NA or similar needed...   
   no blank areas needed... the feed is configured to be able to auto-add new   
   areas and an unconfigured area starts coming in so FE and other tossers simply   
   add the new area to the configs with the echotag... if a valid ".NA" type file   
   is available, they can pull the area description from it but otherwise the   
   area description would be the areatag as well... default settings for the   
   newly added area are pulled from either the tosser's config where they may be   
   defined or they are copied from an existing area in the bbs' config that is   
   desgnated as the area to use for these defaults...   
      
   yes, even allfix can do this in this same manner and it is one i know that   
   pulls the defaults for an area from an existing area in the bbs' configs ;)   
      
   FMail is another mail tosser that can do this auto-adding of new areas but it   
   is limited when compared to other tossers... i think GEcho is another one with   
   this ability, too... i'm fairly sure that IMail and maybe even IREX can do   
   this... the problem is the list of bbses supported... if one is running old   
   school, generally there are no problems... i have no clue if the husky stuff   
   can do this for those ""hamstrung"" by *nix O:) O:) O:)
