Sure, looks better but still missing a tagline and some more info I would like to put, but that'll do for now.

 NB> 3) When all AREADEF lines are commented out: In the same golded.cfg:

 NB> AREAFILE AREASBBS /path/to/areas.bbs

Full path and file name, that might be where I'mm failing, mystic's areas.bbs looks like this when I exported it:


!d:\bbs\mystic\msgs\localbbs localbbs
!d:\bbs\mystic\msgs\dupes LOC_DUPES
!d:\bbs\mystic\msgs\netmail netmail
!d:\bbs\mystic\msgs\fsxtst FSX_TST 21:3/100
...
