1. Introduction
===============
1.1 Legal stuff
---------------
MM_SetAreaDesc is just a script to temporary fix the missing MM_Set*Area*-
commands of MM v1.1. Especially the missing possibility to set the descrip-
tion of an #(ECHO|FECHO|TICK)AREA.

MM_SetAreaDesc is mailware :-). This means if you use it, please write me a
short mail. You know, it is frustrating to write programs and there are no
responses from the users if they like it or not...
Accepting these few points is the only condition for using MM_SetAreaDesc...

1.2 General stuff
-----------------
I am not the best in writing doc, but quiet good in coding I think :-) This
docs are a bit short I have to appolognize, but I hope you'll understand it
anyway... Especially my English and the typo's ;-)
If there is anybody out there who is able to & wants translate the docs to
his own language, please do so and send them to me! I'll add them to the next
release. Also translators always will get the newest betas! ;-)
Unfortunatly I don't have the will & time to translate my docs even to German
- my time is better used for coding :-)

2. Features
===========
MM_SetAreaDesc...
... is able to set the area-description of #(ECHO|FILE|TICK)AREAs - it
/fixes/ the missing set-areadesc-function of MM <=1.2.
3. Installation
===============
Just copy the script to MM:Rexx/...
4. Usage
========
[RX] MM_SetAreaDesc[.rexx] CFG/A,NEWCFG/A,DESCFILE/A,QUIET/S,INSERT/S,
REPLACE/S
CFG the currently loaded MM.cfg
NEWCFG the name to save the cfg as
DESCFILE the name of the file containing the area-descriptions
FORCE overwrite NEWCFG if it already exists
QUIET don't ask, just do it :-)
INSERT do not change existing descriptions, just insert new ones
REPLACE replace CFG with NEWCFG and force MM to reload its cfg
5. Theory of operation
======================
MM_SetAreaDesc will check every area you have if there is a description for it
in the descfile, if so it will (ask you and) set it.
It has to be done this way, because locating an area inside a big cfgfile is
dog-slow!
After all was checked, the new cfg will be written. Now you have to check and
replace your old cfg with it.
It isn't the fastest but it works...
I suggest you to join all the descfiles you have instead of starting it once
for every file.
You can try it using Examples/Example.lst...
6. Acknowledgements
===================
Pino Aliberti For his EXCELLENT Mail Manager! For implementing nearly all
I wanted (this was much work I think and delayed the release
of MM for some month ;-)) For our hard but fair fights in
MMBETA and at least for the nice note about me in the docs
