   Hi Nicholas,

   It says so in the bottom line description for the function:   
      
   "Import descriptions from Backbone.NA into fmail.ar"   
      
   On the other hand the areas.bbs import I think should create areas, judging   
   from the description:   
      
   "Convert Areas.BBS into fmail.ar"   
      
   But that is a more complex file format, then the simple .na format.   
      
    NB> If so, I digress. 30 years is a long time for nobody to complain about   
    NB> that one.   
      
   Apparently... ;-)   
      
   But there are also import functions for a number of other config files of   
   other tossers.   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
