File Areas, more often referred to as File Echos, are 
 used to automatically distribute files around the     
 network, just as Echomail Areas are used to           
 distribute echomail around the network. More often    
 than not, files distributed via File Echos are        
 accompanied by .TIC files, which contain a brief      
 summary of the file they accompany. A typical use of  
 a File Echo would be to distribute the weekly         
 nodediff, the weekly nodelist, the weekly issue of    
 FidoNews, etc.                                        
                                                       
 [x]  OpenXP will process .TIC files and post a        
      "message" in a file area specifically created    
      for each File Echo. Once processed, the .TIC     
      files are deleted.                               
                                                       
      These file areas can be found in amongst your    
      message areas.                                   
                                                       
      Examples: /FIDO/FILES/FIDONEWS                   
                /FIDO/FILES/NODEDIFZ                   
                /FIDO/FILES/ECHOLIST                   
                                                       
      Pressing  <Enter> on any of the file areas will  
      bring up a "message" list and pressing <Enter>   
      on any of the "messages" will display the        
      contents of the associated packed file in the    
      archive viewer.                                  
                                                       
 [ ]  .TIC files will neither be processed nor         
      deleted.
