	I am working with Max and Squish under Dosemu. One headache.
How does one wildcard tag file areas for download? Seems like to read
a whole chunk either online with browse or qwk I have to MANUALLY
enter them. Is there a shortcut Add ALL? I tried to do this
at the tag command
ALL
no good
+ (might as well as - deletes all tagged ones)
I even tried fidonet.*
So If I wanted to read all of my fidonet.* ones how do I tag all of
the fidonet? ditto with rime.* and I-Link.* . they are broken down
like this, having over 1000 areas I had to do something to keep my
sanity.
; this is in msgarea.ctl after the stock ones.
MsgDivisionBegin Fidonet normal . Fidonet Area's
include fidonet.add
MsgDivisionEnd
MsgDivisionBegin I-Link normal . I-Link Area's
include ilink.add
MsgDivisionEnd
MsgDivisionBegin rime normal . Relay Net Area's
include rimenet.add
MsgDivisionEnd
	Is there a external msdos program to make this tagging easier
for the user? I am not just the sysop you know ;) How about a good 3rd
party qwk door that does not cost an arm and a leg for registration
fees, preferably freeware.
