-====== Import FIDONET.NA into Message bases ======
+====== Import FIDONET.NA in to message bases ======
+The '[Import_FIDONET.NA]' stanza tasks MUTIL with running a function that will bulk auto create a number of message bases in Mystic for you.
+MUTIL looks to a specially formatted text file that you specify. It's formatted with echoarea tag and a description of the message base. Mystic then will create the message bases contained in this file en-mass and quickly!
+Here's an snippet from a .NA file set up for Fidonet echoareas
+  MOVIES              Movies & TV Discussion
+  MUFFIN              Maximus BBS Discussion And Support.
+  MYSTIC              Discussion and chat about the Mystic BBS software
+  NET_DEV             Fidonet Network Development
+  NFL                 National Football League scores, discussion, etc.
+  NHL                 The National Hockey League Discussion Echo
+To enable this function you modify the '[general]' stanza as follows:
+  [general]
+  Import_FIDONET.NA       = true
+There a several switches you can configure that relate to this function.
+The filename to read when running the import process.
+  ; filename to import
+    filename = fidonet.na
+Should Mystic convert echoarea tags to lowercase?
+  ; convert tags to lower case for message base filename  1=yes
+    lowercase_filename = 1
+The following options define the "default" values used when creating any new message bases.  netaddress must match an exiting network address configured within Mystic BBS.  default values are also taken from the system configuration for origin line, colors, etc.
+In the example below we want newly created fsxNet message bases to have the address 21:1/123 (a node number you have been allocated), level 10 security and group 1 membership to see the message base and read it's content, level 20 security and group 1 membership to post to it etc.
+  ; the network address to associate with the message base
+    netaddress     = 21:1/123
+  ; ACS to see the message base
+    acs_list       = s10g1
+  ; ACS to read messages in the message base
+    acs_read       = s10g1
+  ; ACS to post a message in the message base
+    acs_post       = s20g1
+  ; ACS to use the message base with sysop access
+    acs_sysop      = s255g1
+  ; Display header to use in message base
+    header         = msghead
+  ; Display template to use in message base
+    read_template  = ansimrd
+  ; Index template to use in message base
+    index_template = ansimlst
+  ; maximum messages to retain
+    max_msgs       = 500
+  ; maximum number of days to hold messages
+    max_msgs_age   = 365
+  ; true/false type values 0=false 1=true (newscan 2=forced)
+  ; allow auto signatures in this base?
+    use_autosig    = 1
+  ; use real names in this base?
+    use_realname   = 0
+  ; kill kludge lines in this base?
+    kill_kludge    = 1
+  ; base is part of new messages scan?
+    new_scan       = 1
+  ; base is part of new messages scan for QWK network?
+    qwk_scan       = 1
+  ; define message base format 0 = JAM
+    base_format = 0
