    1. I have 2 older files in my transfer area that I'm trying to remove. 1 says file open by 2 users and the other says file open by 4 users but I'm the only one on any of the servers. Tried restarting the bbs and still does this. How can I fix this so I can remove those files?

    2. I tried setting up an areas.bbs for the only network I am a hub for but if I
    disable the add areas option my other FTN nets don't import there messages. If I enable the add areas option it adds the areas for all my FTN networks and they import the messages fine. Is there a way so I only have the areas im a hub
    for without all the extra in my areas.bbs file?

    Use the ";close all" sysop command from the transfer menu.

    Try setting EchoCfg->EchoMail Settings->Automatically Add New Subs.. to "List Only".
