Well, yes.  I got curious and went to check what you're saying.  I 
changed the defined location of 'badareas.lst' (in sbbsecho.ini, using 
Echocfg).  Then I went into SCFG/Message Areas/Message Group/Import 
Areas/badareas.lst ... and ... it still showed the location as 
.../data/badareas.lst .  So it does appear to be broken, as you said.

Digitalman - seems like this is a bug to me.  The function in SCFG is 
not reading the defined location of 'badareas.lst' and seems hard-wired 
to ../data/badareas.lst .



.... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
