Ok,  I probably will...

I don't have any "type" lines in there at all,  now,  I guess I need  to put 
some in...
 GF> Mine is set for each area as "Type   CD NoNew Slow Staged".
I just looked in the doc file under cdrom handling,  and see that I'm going 
to have to change my command line for FB.  I also didn't see anything about 
NoNew, Slow, or Staged,  though it did seem to imply that Staged was implied 
by the use of CD in there.
 GF> Hope that helps... 
Yeah.
I guess I'm not going to be able to combine listings of files on the cd with 
my already existing file areas,  eh?  It looks like I'm going to have to make 
separate ones for those...
