 AA> How do I create an area manually?

From OpenXP's main screen, press the "s" key, which brings up the  
"Special" configuration screen but please be *VERY* careful what you  
do in there as it's dead easy to mess things up!

Press the "w" key which brings up the New Area dialogue. Your uplink's  
address should already be in the "Server" field, so just press <Enter>  
to go to the "Newsgroup" field. Assuming that you haven't changed the  
default Area prefix of /FIDO/ in "Edit/Servers/Edit/Robots", enter  
/FIDO/<area tag> (e.g. /FIDO/BINKD) in the "Newsgroup" field and then  
press <Enter>. Then, <Enter> your way through the rest of the settings  
and you should see your new area. To get out of the "Special"  
configuration, press the "s" key.

Regards,
Martin
