   OK.  I tried the mutil import option, but I can't figure it out.  Where does   
   the .NA file have to reside for it to get imported?   
      
   In the [Import_FIDONET.NA] section, I inputted:   
       filename = fsxnet.na   
      
       netaddress     = 21:1/100   
       acs_list       = s10g1   
       acs_read       = s10g1   
       acs_post       = s20g1   
       acs_sysop      = s255g1   
       header         = msghead   
       read_template  = ansimrd   
       index_template = ansimlst   
       max_msgs       = 0   
       max_msgs_age   = 365   
      
   so I could get fsxnet, but running mutil.ini, nothing inputted.   
      
   I need to do this for other nets as well.
