Hi Richard,

Linux first, JAM netmail later... ;)

Why do you need/want that anyway? You're using GoldED!

There won't be at first...

What's not intuitive about:

  FMAIL_HELP /R      Connect area FMAIL_HELP and rescan all messages
                     in the message base
  FMAIL_HELP /R=50   Connect area FMAIL_HELP and rescan at most 50 messages
  =FMAIL_HELP        Rescan the connected area FMAIL_HELP without having
                     to disconnect it first

  %RESCAN            Request a rescan of all new areas
  %RESCAN=50         Request a rescan of at most 50 messages per area for
                     all new areas

That's how a lot of Tossers AreaFix functions do it...

Bye, Wilfred.
