Hey DM,

I'm running master/e5927b5a3

I have areas setup like this:

....
 [21] Zer0Net                                                  9
*[22] CommodoreNet                                             0
 [23] NixNet                                                   8

ie: I've defined a group "CommodoreNet", but not yet added any subs to it.

If, after logged in at the main menu (using the default shell), I type /23 to switch to NixNet, I see no change.

If I type /22, the prompt changes to "NIX" (for NixNet). (/21 takes me to Zer0Net as expected).

If I type * to list the subs, I get this:

þ Main þ 0:01:17 [22] NIX [1] NIX ADMIN: *
Sub-boards of CommodoreNet                                   Posts

And returned to the prompt.

If I type "NG" (to list the new messages in the current group), I get the NixNet subs:

þ Main þ 0:00:02 [22] NIX [1] NIX ADMIN: N

New Message Scan

Sub-board: NIX ADMIN, Group: NIX, or All: G

NIX             NixNet Administration                        New:    0 of 0
....
NIX             Running a BBS under *nix                     New:    0 of 0
Message Scan (8 sub-boards) complete.

IE: I think there is an inconsistency here. Either 22 CommodoreNet shouldnt be shown and NixNet should be "22", or "/22" should take me and change the prompt to commodorenet, and "NG" shouldnt return anything (and /23 should take me to NixNet as I would have expected).
