   I know that I mentioned this once before and I'm not sure not sure if what   
   is/will become of it...   
      
   I have a few message Groups... Local/Fido/Usenet just to mention a few.  Years   
   ago I recall reading that JAM message base responds slower if there are large   
   numbers of files in the directory, message base files.   
      
   I don't recall why that was, if it was hardware or software limitations based   
   on that time or whatever...  So, I separate my message groups into different   
   directories /msg/dovenet /msg/fido/ and so on..   
      
   If Mystic auto creates a message base and I change where Mystic sees the   
   message base it'll copy over the files from where Mystic auto created them to   
   where I made the changes...   
      
   Here you go.... If I ignore things for  a while and there are a large number of   
   areas and I try to uses the Global option...  and I make the changes I want to   
   have for several areas... It'll change the directory but not copy over the JAM   
   files from the old directory to the new one like Mystic does when I do them one   
   at a time.   
      
   Oooooh, BTW... I forget what it was that I was doing.  I was messing with the   
   message base setup and all my area setup for FidoNET only vanished ....  I   
   didn't back it up so I'm left with Mystic auto creating the areas as they come   
   in.  Mystic is not using, or back filling, any of the newly vacant area numbers   
   that were left open from my FidoNET  purge...   
      
   I have enough on my mind, midterm elections, war in Ukraine, gas prices,   
   inflation and what not.  Now I'm focused on the fact that Mystic is not using   
   the newly vacant area numbers.   
      
   Great Job... I love Mystic
