    HI all!

    Quick question here. Is it possible to select a node in the network node screen and just be able to go through the message area list and tag (using something like the spacebar) which echos downlinks/uplinks are connected to instead of going through each area one by one? If not, this would be a great feature to have to make linking nodes easier.

    EzyCfg, Mail Areas, Message Areas > F10 to add downlinks/uplinks.
    Press ENTER on each node you want to link. Press Pgdn/Pgup for
    next/previous message area. Press F10 to exit.

    i think he's asking about going the other way around... when viewing the nodes'

    configuration screens, bring something up to be able to select the areas they are connected to instead of having to go to each area and add the node... then press enter or space on each echo area to add the node to them...

    i think the idea is something like node x:y/z signs up for your services and they want areas a,b,c,d,e,f,g so when you add that node into your config, you bring up the echos list and just tag them to add the node to them... maybe even

    allow adding by groups in this same way... by that i mean adding them to a group of echos like "group b: fidonet backbone areas" which would contain like 180 or so areas at this time... makes for a real quick way to add them to 180 areas instead of having to visit each of those 180 areas and add the node that way...

    How about EzyCfg, Mail Areas, Node Links, F10 to add message areas -- which
    is something kinda similar to what I was referring to. Do the mass
    connection on a node by node basis instead of an echo by echo basis.

    This is already done via Mail Areas > Global Msg Options > Global
    Export List using groups.
