 MJ> Can GoldEd create message areas ? or do I need to create them using a
 MJ> BBS first before I can edit them with GoldEd ?

 AC> Other people have answered this already, but something to note is
 AC> GoldED won't create subdirectories for you. 
 AC> Suppose you have this in GOLDED.CFG:
 AC> AreaDef JAMAREA "My JAM echo" 0 echo JAM c:\msg\jam\jamarea
 AC> If either c:\msg or c:\msg\jam don't exist, GoldED won't create them,
 AC> and will possibly crash with a terse error. Worse, it does this after
 AC> you save the message you just wrote. 
 AC> Or at least that's been my experience.

This is good to know.

 AC> Concievably there's now a config setting to enable automatic
 AC> subdirectory creation. Or it would be nice if there was. 
 MJ> (I am using GoldED/386 3.00.Beta3).

 AC> If my history is correct that's circa 1997.

 AC> Beware of any Y2K bugs with the old versions. :)

Yes, I will bear this in mind.
