Thanks for that.  My boss sends the arealist all in lowercase.  For example:

Available areas for 2:221/1.58

     10th_amd
     12_steps
     24000.ger
     4dos
     60s_70s_progrock
     80xxx
     aarp_fraud ............................. "AARP Fraud Warning Network News"
     abled
     adept_sysop
     ads_announce
     adsl
     aftershock
     aioe.system
     aioe.test
     alabama.test
     alaska_chat
     all-politics

...so, maybe this is why I can't seem to pick anything after the "Use as 
Arealist" function.

 RM> But areaname needs to be CAPS.

Hmm... I don't think I have any control how my boss builds the arealist.  As 
above, it arrives in LOWERCASE.  :(

This could be a modest shortcoming with Winpoint.
