I'm not sure I did something specific for this (it was a long time ago).
But my areas.gld (generated by FMail) contains all my areas FMail knows about, including the netmail and hudson areas:

AREADEF NETMAIL              "Netmail area"          0 Net FIDO n:\netmail\ .    (Loc)
AREADEF SENT_RCVD            "Sent/Received netmail" 0 Net FIDO n:\netmail\save\ . (R/O Loc)
AREADEF DUP_MSGS             "Duplicate messages"    0 Local Hudson 199 . (R/O Loc)
AREADEF BAD_MSGS             "Bad messages"          0 Local Hudson 200 . (R/O Loc)
AREADEF ADSL                 "ADSL"                                       F Echo JAM n:\jam\fido\adsl 2:280/464.0 (Loc)
AREADEF ALASKA_CHAT          "ALASKA_CHAT"                                F Echo JAM n:\jam\fido\alaska_chat 2:280/464.0 (Loc)
[...]

I haven't configured a "BBS area file path"...


Bye, Wilfred.
