   Well, how did you do it in the past?  What I do is actually create the    
   new message area/echo in SCFG, and then there is a choice in each    
   message group (network) to export the network information.  You can    
   choose to export it to 'areas.bbs' or some other choices.  It will also    
   ask you whether you want to append or overwrite, be careful with that    
   choice.   
      
   Once you have an 'areas.bbs' established, and you're adding or removing    
   only a single (or a few) echos, I find it *FAR* easier to just manually    
   edit the areas.bbs file and be done with it.  But it all begins with    
   creating (or deleting) the echo area in the message group, in SCFG.   
      
      
      
   ... So easy, a child could do it. Child sold separately.
