Hi! Phil,

Show us yer legs... ermm, logs.  ;-)

Frankly it's been so l-o-n-g since I last used that function that when I saw
your question I thought that the operation was impossible.  Thanks for
reminding me.

Here's what the manual says on the matter...

  -----8<-----C-U-T--H-E-R-E----->8-----
    FESetup -IE<File> [-O]

       This switch  is provided  in  order to  simplify the  operation  of
   import the EchoMail area description from a standard fidonet echo  area
   descriptions called Echolist (FIDONET.NA). You  can do the same  opera-
   tion internally, by  means of  the "Import" DropDown-menu.  If used  in
   conjunction with the -O  switch, the already-existent description  pre-
   sents in FastEcho.cfg will be automatically overwritten. I.E.  assuming
   that you  want  automatic import  in  your FastEcho  configuration  the
   description present  in standard  file FIDONET.NA  overwriting all  the
   existing descriptions, you have to layout the following command:

    FESetup -IEFIDONET.NA -O

   Note that there isn't -any space- between the -IE switch and the  file-
   name FIDONET.NA (that's mandatory).
  -----8<-----C-U-T--H-E-R-E----->8-----

What's -not- happening, Phil?

Cheers,
Paul.
