   Ahh, OK, that'll do it too.  I've done that to myself by accident a couple of   
   times lol

   I add new areas at the end where possible.  I still use dynamic conference   
   numbers for non networked nets and use static numbers for the QWK networks.

   You can set your QWK numbers to be static.  And don't use consecutive numbers,   
   if you want to be able to insert conferences between them.   
      
    ml> we probably should move this over to one of the sbbs areas, though...   
      
   Feel free to, I am linked up. :)   
      
      
   ... If everything seems to go right, check your zipper.
