A couple of folks have suggested that MR utility?  Something like that, 
anyhow.  Trying that at a command prompt gives me this:

E:\MAX3>mr

MR  Maximus *.MSG Maintenance Program  Version 3.01
Copyright 1991, 1999 by Lanius Corporation.  All rights reserved.

Format:

    MR [options] [area...]

[area...] are one or more area names to be renumbered.  For typical use, to
renumber all areas, run:

    MR all

The supported options are:

    -m  - use  as the message area data file
    -p  - use the PRM file from  instead of MAXIMUS
environment var
