OK.  I tried the mutil import option, but I can't figure it out.  Where does the .NA file have to reside for it to get imported?

In the [Import_FIDONET.NA] section, I inputted:
    filename = fsxnet.na

    netaddress     = 21:1/100
    acs_list       = s10g1
    acs_read       = s10g1
    acs_post       = s20g1
    acs_sysop      = s255g1
    header         = msghead
    read_template  = ansimrd
    index_template = ansimlst
    max_msgs       = 0
    max_msgs_age   = 365

so I could get fsxnet, but running mutil.ini, nothing inputted.

I need to do this for other nets as well.
