   I really wish I could help.  I had a very nice Jam-based Sempoint     
   operation many years ago.   
      
   Is that AREAS.BBS file in plain text, example:   
      
   SBBS     SYNCHRONET   1:3615/50   
   SYNCDATA SYNCDATA     1:3615/50   
   SYNC_SYS SYNC_SYSOPS  1:3615/50   
      
      
    MF>I then created a GOLDED.CFG file for that one area and placed that in   
    MF>SemPoint's directory and went through the configuration steps. End result   
    MF>of that was that there are still no areas shown in the area list.   
      
    MF>Ideas anyone?   
      
   Here's one.   
      
   If you are only needing one area (for test and evaluation purposes), why     
   not Configure the area manually.   
      
   Copy the set of your Jam files (to preserve your originals) to the SEM     
   subfolder of your choice, then proceed to:   
      
   C)onfiguration, A)reas, A)dd..  and proceed with the details.   
      
   When it comes to the "Path or Filename", you can navigate the config to     
   where the jam files are.  It is primarily looking for the .JHR file.   
      
   And NOTE that you need to manually select "Jam" in the Configuration     
   Areas" panel, even *after* you seleted the .JHR file.   
      
   Hope this helps.   
      
   PS..   
      
   I have never been successful in creating messages from scratch (that is,     
   from ones that don't have any messages in there already).  I've use     
   Apoint's version with modest success.  But I don't remember how I did it     
   many years ago when my messages were tossed with Fastecho.   
      
   [BTW..  I still haven't received my Fastecho reg key  :(  ]
