Hi g00r00,

I just noticed when listing my Fidonet areas, I get the first 48 and then the
screen pauses.  After I hit enter or C it seems to skip listing 10 bases:

    1  Fidonet Netmail                     2  ABLED
    3  AFTERSHOCK                          4  ALLFIX_FILE
    5  AMATEUR_RADIO                       6  AMIGA
    7  ANNOUNCE.024                        8  ANTI_VIRUS
    9  ASIAN_LINK                         10  AUTOMOTIVE
   11  AVIATION                           12  BAMA
[snip]
   41  ESPOMEN                            42  ESSNASA
   43  FDECHO                             44  FDN_ANNOUNCE
   45  FIDO-REQ                           46  FIDOGAZETTE
   47  FIDONET.ORG                        48  FIDOSOFT.GER
More: (Y)es, (N)o, (C)ontinueous?                           
   59  GOLDED                             60  GUITAR
   61  HAM                                62  HAM_TECH

Notice that it skips from 48 to 59.

For example FIDOTEST is listed two after FIDOSOFT.GER.  If I wanted to go to
this area & not knowing the number, I have to go to 48 and then press ] a few
times to find FIDOTEST.

I do have the areas sorted by network & then name:

73     FIDOGAZETTE                            1:229/664
72     FIDONET.ORG                            1:229/664
67     FIDOSOFT.GER                           1:229/664

Thanks for all that you do!
