Get a copy of the RA Doc file in the 2.52 distro of RA... items not covered
in RA doc are supplimented in what comes with Ele.

Tosser... I use FMail... has built in support for EleBBS as far as writting
the info files Ele needs for message bases...

Actually, the way I have it here, I use FMail entirely as my message base
manager (except for the message groups in the BBS)... it will auto export
all information to my FD and Ele setups.

I also have the "addnew" feature in use with my batch file for
recieved mail... didn't have to configure a single message base... I set up
defaults in my area manager in FMail, and when the addnew feature plays,
any new areas that are found are added to FMail, FD, and Ele on the fly...
I simply areafixed all available areas I had access to, and they
automagicly apeared in my entire setups as traffic for them came in, and I
never had to punch a key. FMail is also free for non-commercial use.

Once you get playing, there are some very nice scripts for Ele that replace
alot of items in Ele that are almost a must, especially if you'r planning
on using lightbared menus.
