   Hello Richard,

   I just can't get those official controls to cooperate.   
      
   Meanwhile, I took a peak in:   
      
   C:\home_directory_for_winpoint\WinPoint\MsgBase   
      
   ..and looked inside the file: "2.221.1.0.EchoAreas" with notepad (where   
   2.221.1.0" is my boss node address),   
      
   ..I learned that the file is simply pure text with each line constructed   
   thusly:   
      
   . 1stAREANAME   
   . 2ndAREANAME   
   . 3rdAREANAME   
      
   ..etc.   
      
   I learned that the file in this format will show up in Winpoint' "Echoarea   
   Management" with those areas on the LEFT side of the panel.  From there, you   
   can click on the areaname you are interested in and it will "move" over to the   
   right panel.  This is the mechanism for creating an areafix request.   
      
   When that is done, the contents of the file change like so:   
      
   * 1stAREANAME   
   * 2ndAREANAME   
   * 3rdAREANAME   
      
   ..where the asterisk represents the areas that have been "requested". When the   
   lines look like that, the areas show up in the main Winpoint reading/folders   
   panel.   
      
   I am not sure if I like this work-around.   :(
