My guess is that the lines indicated would be added to the srm.conf file. With 40,000+ files online here it would be a bit cumbersome to do so manually. Use of a standard format FILES.BBS or INDEX.TXT file would be much more realistic and would greatly simplify maintenance. Tools exist for generating them automatically. John Mudge
