Okay, understood.

That seems a pretty niche use-case - I'd guess that VERY few sysops are 
using multiple sbbsecho.ini files.  If somebody *was*, then yes I could 
see how they might need to type in a new value in the input dialog to 
import that badareas.lst into SCFG.  But for the other 99% ...?  To be 
fair - I see ZERO reason to change it from the default location anyway.

I guess my question then is - does the location specified in 
sbbsecho.ini for the badareas.lst file actually make that file get 
created/updated in the location specified?  Or will it always go to 
../data ?

 DM> If you think it's a bug, file a bug report.

I don't have the issue myself, and use the default location for 
badareas.lst ... was just conversing with the OP.  I will let him worry 
about a bug report, if he desires.  :-)  Thanks.


... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
