   In your /opt/mbse/var/ you should have a directory named /arealist and to put   
   to this directory you shall make some text files for each file group echo.   
   Then you have filegate.zxx then copy this to /opt/mbse/var/arealists   
   Then split this op to each file group echo file, like make several copies of   
   it as one named for file echo group fido_adm.fdn where you have all file echos   
   for fido admin files and then in safe doing copy this file to fido_adm.fa   
   then in choice 10 file echo setup 1 make the file groups for fido_adm files.   
   Then use user auto create be to Yes.   
   and let the lines uplink be your file uplink and aka be your own aka.   
   line 6 areas = file_adm.fdn   
   filegate = yes   
   line 1 10 and 11 is same name   
   In line 16. User chang = yes   
   save it and try then to move all files in /var/badtic to /var/inbound/   
   try to run mbfido ti   
   and if it still not make the file echo and the files is been moved to /badtic   
   start mbsetup again and go to 10.1 again and be sure that fido_adm.fa is   
   change to only have the 'fileecho echo-decription' and all other lines comment   
   out.   
   then change area = fido_adm.fa   
   filegate =No   
   save it an go out from mbsetup and move the files from badtic to inbound and   
   run mbse ti again.   
   It should create the file echo by the tic file.   
      
      
     Take care,
