Already did that.  That's when all of the QWK areas started displaying the
echo tag for a description instead of the chopped area description.

I can see your point; however, I do have some rather large gaps in my
message base numbering (so I can tell at a glance what message area is in
what network).  I do have the actual network tag for all of my message
areas.  As far as I can tell, I have everything set up properly, but
there's something else that's causing problems.

Are you using v3.2 on your system?

Later,
Sean
