   Hello Rob.

   Currently you may use three different options for Synchronet AreaFile:   
      
   1) Path to Synchronet root. And then Golded would assume that config is is   
   ctrl directory.   
   2) Path to Synchronet control directory.   
   3) Path to msgs.ini itself.   
      
   And also GoldEd assumes that message bases located on the same level as   
   control directory in "data/subs" directory.   
      
   I didn't invent that logic. Just added parsing ini in addition to cnf file.   
      
   I'm happy to change the way it configured. But I'm not an expert in Synchronet   
   design. Could you please describe how it may be configured? Maybe would be   
   better to parse main config file first and pull necessary directories from   
   there?
