     This is  newer version  of the  "AREA" keyword,  with more detailed
     parameters.

     The full syntax is: (must be all on one line)

         AREADEF <echoid> <"desc"> <group> <type> <msgbase> <path/board>
                 <aka> <(attrs)> ["origin"]

         <echoid>      The echoid.
         <"desc">      Area description in quotes.
         <group>       Groupid uppercase letter (A-Z) or 0 if not in a
                       group. Use #groupnumber to specify group numbers in
                       the 1-999 range. Example: #117.
         <type>        Net, Echo, Local, EMail or News.
         <msgbase>     Opus, FTS1, Hudson, Squish, Ezycom, JAM, Goldbase or
                       PCBoard.
         <path/board>  Area path, boardnumber or base filename.
         <aka>         Aka address for the area, or '.' for main aka.
         <(attrs)>     Default attributes in brackets ().
         ["origin"]    Optional default origin in quotes.

     This looks a lot like  the AREA keyword. Additional parameters  are
     the <group>, the verbose <type> and <msgbase>, the fully  specified
     <aka> address,  the brackets  for the  attributes and  the optional
     origin.

     Note the possibility  of using '.'  to specify the  main aka. This,
     and  the  optional  default  origin,  makes  it simpler to create a
     common  INCLUDE'able  area  configuration  for  several setups with
     different  addresses,  for  example  two  people  sharing  the same
     msgbase.
