Well, how did you do it in the past? What I do is actually create the
new message area/echo in SCFG, and then there is a choice in each
message group (network) to export the network information. You can
choose to export it to `areas.bbs` or some other choices. It will also
ask you whether you want to append or overwrite, be careful with that
choice.
Once you have an `areas.bbs` established, and you`re adding or removing
only a single (or a few) echos, I find it *FAR* easier to just manually
edit the areas.bbs file and be done with it. But it all begins with
creating (or deleting) the echo area in the message group, in SCFG.
... So easy, a child could do it. Child sold separately.
