Thank you. I brought it up because I recently had a user attempt "%RESCAN" and
nothing happened. He didn't even get a response from Areafix saying it was an
invalid command (So my guess is that at the moment it is always looking for
some kind of parameter after RESCAN). Reading the help at least showed
wildcards were in fact supported so I had him try "%RESCAN *" which worked.

So while you're digging, you may want to take a look at %RESCAN by itself to
see if there is some sort of response given and/or error handling if no
parameters are given. My logs didn't show anything except that the Areafix was
processed, yet nothing was done and no reply was sent to the requestor.

If it is indeed an invalid command maybe there should be an Areafix response to
the user saying so, and just as well if it is seeking more parameters maybe
some kind of response in that regard - or possibly something logged server side
stating more than just the "Areafix has been processed" (which makes one assume
the process was successful, even though nothing happens)?

Just my two cents, and thank you for your continued work on this excellent
software!

Regards,
Nick
