   Yes, I do use 'ftools addnew -A'.

   I run Fmail/Ftools only in linux. FConfig only in windows :D.   
      
   All paths in FConfig are in windows format:   
      
   â”Œâ”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â”€â

   If I try to enter "/", FConfig will change it to "\".

   Of course I also made the conversion  "\" -> "/" in my converter. Also   
   in linux Golded.cfg I have "mappath \ /".   
      
   But it was strange that at the same time areas.bbs and areas.gld have   
   different separator. :)
