   sometimes software packages like Winpoint create areamgr requests automaticly   
   if you include echolists (lists of echos that can be requested from the   
   bossnode)   
      
   but you also can manualy write an areafix or areamgr message.

   manual areamgr request:   
      
   you're running as point  1:229/426.36   
   so your bossnode is   1:229/426   
   so you can write a netmail to:

   push the poll button and wait some time before the next poll.   
   Probably in the next session you'll receive a response from your bossnodes   
   areamanager   
      
      
   The line   
      
   >-$- WinPoint 407.0   
      
   indicates, you're using WinPoint 407.0   
      
   Go to Winpoint's menu:  Fidonet - Echoarea Management   
   probably in the left window you have a list of echos available. You can select   
   / doubleclick echos to get them to the right window. You can also press the   
   %LIST button. Once anything changed the Send button becomes selectable.   
   Press the Send button and the request goes to your bossnode.   
      
   If the left window of the Echo Area Management is empty, you first have to   
   frequest an echolist from your bossnode.   
   Within Echo Area Management window - select menu:  Areas - Add Area List to   
   include the echos list from your bossnode.
