ac> Paul, Bill, it's called "LocalArea".  Squish does not
recognise it, but
ac> programs such as GoldED and timEd do.  As far as timEd is concerned,
ac> LocalAreas should not have a tearline or origin line.  I'm not sure what
ac> GoldED does with LocalAreas.

ac> Right now it doesn't.  The 'fix' is to redefine any LocalArea defines as
ac> EchoAreas but don't export them to anyone, eg.

ac> EchoArea  net.old        E:\MSGBASE\LOCAL\OLD_NET     -$

Considering that squish doesn't recognize the LocalArea keyword,
I fail to see why anyone should be doing anything other than 
what you have done above, and therefore msged should not be
modified to read a "localarea" keyword from squish.cfg.
BFN.  Paul.
