dude, ANSI mess is really really really ugly when viewed raw... i didn't have
a clue what you wrote until someone else responded to you...

the areamgr.tpl file says the following...


%RESEND [fileecho]:[filename]
                   To request that ALLFIX resend a certain file in a
                   specific fileecho. Wildcards may be used.


so that would seem to indicate that you could send

%RESEND fidonews:*

or maybe

%RESEND fidonets:*.*

to get all of the files in the FIDONEWS FDN sent to you...


NOTE1: the colon (":") appears to be required... apparently if you don't know
what FDN a file was distributed in, you could do something like

%RESEND :somefile.zip

and get it from which ever FDN it is in... maybe even several of them if there
are several files with the same name...


NOTE2: this information comes from ALLFIX v5.13.004... it may or may not be
accurate for other versions of ALLFIX...
