AM> In a message to Anthony about "stupid users", Paul said:



 AM>> %RESCAN RED_OCTOBER

 AM>> + AUST_TRADING

 AM>> - STTNG



 AM>> Maybe if I were to leave the rescaned echos as the last in the list...



 PM>> From memory you can rescan just one area by using ^RED_OCTOBER.



 AM> Paul has been telling us to use %RESCAN  to rescan just one

 AM> echo.



And you believed him. ROFL!



 AM> It's worked before on a single echo...  What else is %RESCAN

 AM> supposed to do?



To quote the manual:



"Squalid introduces a new feature for those familiar with AreaFix.
Individual echoes can be 'rescanned' in a similar manner to turning an echo
on or off. Simply precede the name of the echo with a caret character (^),
which Squalid interprets as 'add and then rescan'."



"Another way to achieve a rescan for one or more areas, is to precede
that area with the %RESCAN command. Only areas listed after the command
will be rescanned."



So, basically, you told Squalid to add and rescan all three areas.





Paul
