   I'm not sure I did something specific for this (it was a long time ago).   
   But my areas.gld (generated by FMail) contains all my areas FMail knows about,   
   including the netmail and hudson areas:   
      
   AREADEF NETMAIL              "Netmail area"          0 Net FIDO n:\netmail\   
   .    (Loc)   
   AREADEF SENT_RCVD            "Sent/Received netmail" 0 Net FIDO    
   :\netmail\save\ . (R/O Loc)   
   AREADEF DUP_MSGS             "Duplicate messages"    0 Local Hudson 199 . (R/O   
   Loc)   
   AREADEF BAD_MSGS             "Bad messages"          0 Local Hudson 200 . (R/O   
   Loc)   
   AREADEF ADSL                 "ADSL"                                       F

   Echo JAM n:\jam\fido\alaska_chat 2:280/464.0 (Loc)   
   [...]   
      
   I haven't configured a "BBS area file path"...   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
