Read it, performed it, as a command on the command line & drop-down menu.
Exported the existing areas to research format & no luck.

It no workie-workie. The fidonet.na file exists in the \FE directory & when I
atempt to import it regardless of method, it reports "0 descriptions 
imported".
It fails to create the areas or import descriptions.
 
So before I trudge through the manual creation of 300 echo areas, I would like
to investigate to see if anyone else has the same problem & possible solution.
