   I'm confused!   
      
   As I said in a previous post, my German BossNode's areas list contains     
   a mixture of uppercase and lowercase area tags. If I look at my     
   "2:240/2188.0.EchoAreas" file, the only areas listed are those which     
   have uppercase tags but from what you've said above, the lowercase     
   area tags should be listed as well. Perhaps I've misunderstood what     
   you've said?   
      
   Regards,   
   Martin
