imagine you have four file bases - ID = z = z1, z2, etc

1 - Local
2 - Fidonet (stuff that comes over automatically)
3 - FsxNet  (as above)
4 - Fixed   (Let's call this uncurated bulk files for one CD-ROM)

and you have one file area 'Uploads' that you only want in (and it only makes sense in) the 'Local' area.

the Uploads area will have a few ACS settings but the important one is "List ACS" .. where you want Uploads to show up. on my system this is set simply to 'z1' .. meaning it will only show up in the 'local' file base when i list the areas there

as someone else suggested you could also put in for example

s255z1

and have it only list for the sysop and only if they're in group 1
