Well, yes. I got curious and went to check what you're saying. I
changed the defined location of 'badareas.lst' (in sbbsecho.ini, using
Echocfg). Then I went into SCFG/Message Areas/Message Group/Import
Areas/badareas.lst ... and ... it still showed the location as
../data/badareas.lst . So it does appear to be broken, as you said.
Digitalman - seems like this is a bug to me. The function in SCFG is
not reading the defined location of 'badareas.lst' and seems hard-wired
to ../data/badareas.lst .
