tickit or tickfix (one or the other) are supposed to call a utility that
adds the files it tosses to the file listings for the area that you toss
into.  I think that utility is called addfiles, maybe?  It works here
without me having to include any extra command line parms for the events.

However, I think you do need to make sure to have the file echo set up in
tickit.ini so that it is tossing to a file area Dir="name in SCFG" and not a
file area path for it to work.  Example:

[NODELIST]
Dir=NODELIST
Links=1:2/3

[NODEDIFF]
Path=/sbbs/dirs/NODELIST
Links=1:2/3

I think in this example the NODELIST files will get added to the file
listings for that directory, while the NODEDIFF may not.
