Hi Nicholas,

It says so in the bottom line description for the function:
"Import descriptions from Backbone.NA into fmail.ar"
On the other hand the areas.bbs import I think should create areas, judging from the description:
"Convert Areas.BBS into fmail.ar"
But that is a more complex file format, then the simple .na format.

Apparently... ;-)
But there are also import functions for a number of other config files of other tossers.
Bye, Wilfred.
