   I decided to add Araknet back to my BBS. I created the message section,   
   then imported the areas via a .NA file. The areas imported just fine,   
   but when I looked at them in the BBS, there was the message section I   
   created called ARAKNET. Inside of that was another section called   
   Araknet. Inside that section were all of the areas I'd created.   
      
   Odd.   
      
   I tried adding them manually, the same thing happened.   
      
   I noticed that the .NA file description was   
      
   "Araknet: Area Description"   
      
   and that the area description on the BBS was   
      
   "Area Description"   
      
   So, it seemed that the area chooser was parsing the name and making a   
   subsection out of the part of the description preceeding the colon.   
      
   When I edited the .NA file to remove the colons between "Araknet" and the   
   area description and re-imported the areas, they imported the way I'd   
   expect - ARAKNET message section, which included all of the areas at the   
   root of the section.   
      
   Not sure if that's a bug or a feature, but it could come in handy -   
   especially with large file libraries.
