   I generated a new one with 'crashexport' this morning:

   However, by pure chance, I noticed that the file had UNIX line     
   endings. Huh!?   
      
   I changed the line endings to DOS, popped the file in my SemPoint     
   directory and configured SemPoint to use the AREAS.BBS file but it     
   GPF'd on me again. I then removed everything from the file apart from     
   the last two lines and this time, SemPoint didn't GPF on me. However,     
   I still don't have an area list but I know something's changed because     
   AREE.CFG is a bit bigger than it was before and the date/time stamps     
   have changed.   
      
    MF>> Ideas anyone?

    AA> When it comes to the "Path or Filename", you can navigate the config to

    AA> Hope this helps.   
      
   Yes it does thanks because I now have an area list containing the one     
   area and I can read the messages.

   Can't imagine why, perhaps you should give Tobias a gentle nudge?
