Connecting and disconnecting areas is very simple.
A user sends a netmail to TTICK (ask the sysop for
other possibles aliases like FileFix, FileMgr or the
like) and specifies his password in the subject line.
The message text has to be composed of the following
commands:

-AREA
   disconnects the area
+AREA or
AREA
   connects the area if the user has access to it
+%ALL
+*
   connects all areas
+de\.*\.*
   connects all areas that start with de. (you have to escape the dot)
   and contain at least two dots
-%ALL
-*
   disconnects all areas
=AREA[,R=n]
%rescan AREA[,R=n]
   send all (or the newest n) files in that area
&AREA
   create an AREA on my system with you as link (you may then send
   to me in this area)
~AREA
   remote kill AREA on my system (the files are not deleted on my HD)
#AREA NEWAREA
   remote rename AREA to tag NEWAREA
%help
   sends this help text
%list
   sends a list of all areas available to the user
%query %linked
   sends a list of all areas the user is connected to
%unlinked
   sends a list of all areas available to the user which he is
   not connected to
%password %passwd %pwd NEW
   change your password to NEW
%compress %packer %archiver TYPE
   change your archiver, ie. you don't get the original file
   but repacked in type TYPE
%pause %passive
   no files are sent but your selections stay intact
   (eg. you are going to vacation)
%resume %active
   files are being sent to you again
%from [NODE]
   you can change NODE's setup on his behalf (modem defect etc.)
%note [TEXT]
   a note to me (the sysop) is created that contains the text
   after note
%receipt
   get a receipt for every command you have mailed

Additionally, you can compose AREA to be a regular expression.
If AREA starts with a + (plus-sign) you should escape it with
a \ (backslash), especially when trying to disconnect.

That's it!
