   Bugs in .data file processing

   Hello All!   
      
   For many years if not since day one, there has been a bug in the processing of   
   the mareas.data file (echo areas) in that if you have had any areas created   
   high up the line for any reason (and no I do not recall doing so but have been   
   running it since 0.33 times) and then deleted them, that are not cleaned up   
   when saving the file at the end of editing the mail areas.   
      
      
   Here is an example:   
      
   mbsetup -> 9.2   
      
   I show Record (1..572)  but only the first 79 areas have anything in and all   
   the rest show them as deleted / not active although there is some default   
   setting in each.   
      
   This problem appears for this one data file, so for some reason this is the   
   only data file that is not automaticaaly cleaned up when saving.   
      
   Needless to say it is the largest .data file in ~/etc .
