I experimented with the init-fidonet.js script and could not reproduce what you're describing: I first initialized the Micronet network and the script created the "Micronet" message group in SCFG->Message Areas with the "MIN_" internal code prefix and then imported the network's echo list correctly (each sub-board's internal as expected: MIN_ADMIN, MIN_BBS, MIN_CHAT, etc.). So I don't know where you got your "micronet" internal code prefix from - not from that script.

I then initialized fsxNet using the script and it created the "fsxNet" message group in SCFG->Message Areas with the "FSX_" Internal Code Prefix and then imported its echo list correctly, each sub-board with the expected internal code prefix: FSX_GEN, FSX_BBS, FSX_ENG, etc.

And no areas.bbs file created (or used).

So I'm not sure what you're doing.
