   Well, yes.  I got curious and went to check what you're saying.  I    
   changed the defined location of 'badareas.lst' (in sbbsecho.ini, using    
   Echocfg).  Then I went into SCFG/Message Areas/Message Group/Import    
   Areas/badareas.lst ... and ... it still showed the location as    
   ../data/badareas.lst .  So it does appear to be broken, as you said.   
      
   Digitalman - seems like this is a bug to me.  The function in SCFG is    
   not reading the defined location of 'badareas.lst' and seems hard-wired    
   to ../data/badareas.lst .   
      
      
      
   ... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
