Except for %rescan, the standard areafix commands will work, like:

+tagname and -tagname..

I usually tell people to use the regexp features so they don't get areas they
don't want turned on - though it's better now over here since I've deleted so
many dead/old msg. areas .

I think the %rescan may be more of a dog to enable in BBBS's areafix since it
manages both file and message areas, but that's just a guess.. :)

Take care,
Janis
