Right.. each web user has to select the message areas they want to belong to
independently of their setting in the Telnet interface.. kind of a bummer
there ...

So, yes, each user has to select the areas  they want in [Join/Resign Message
Areas] the first time they use the Web interface.

After the first time they do that and click [Send Changes], they won't have to
do it on subsequent logins.

When I first tried the Web interface, I was able to 'find' the areas I wanted
with Firefox Web Browser by pressing Ctrl+F for the 'Find' prompt.

I typed in the message area I wanted to find on the page in that prompt.  I
clicked on the area to mark it, and then pressed the "end" key to get to the
bottom of the list to see the [Send Changes] prompt, and clicked on that...

The [Home] key will take you to the top of the list of echos where [Send
Changes] is also listed, IIRC.

Take care,
Janis
