   Yes it should as the system stores the information in Tagname within network.   
      
   but let me know if it produces a error or anything else he says checking the   
   code -   
      
   Snippit :

   03  EList-Key.                                *> Alternate key   
       05  Elist-Group               pic x(16).  *> FIDO, other networks ?   
       05  Elist-TAG                 pic x(36).  *> Echo tagname | KEY    
   (Alternate)   
   --   
      
   Yes, they are unique.   
      
   That does not mean they are also within a specific bbs system though, in mbse   
   it is valid as echos are controlled and processed echo within group and   
   providing group is  network  or the equivalent.   
      
   For  mbse and possibly other systems group valid echos are taken from a file   
   containing lists of echo tags and descriptions i.e., backbone.na   
      
   Yes I know it is hardly up to date but it is all there is and I do manually   
   update it.   
      
   Notice that the tagname is 36 characters and not as indicated in some other   
   docs as 50 or so - most BB systems do not even allow for 36.
