The help for %RESCAN is as follows

%RESCAN Request a rescan of newly added areas

That seems to mean that only newly added areas would be rescanned. However, this is what I got instead. A rescan of all echos, instead of just the new one

I had never really looked at the rescan option, but thought that you would do a rescan echo by echo. With what it says in the help, it should only be any newly added area. This rescan was apparently requested in the same message that the the echo was areafixed.

Probably

+ Echo
%RESCAN

Are we missing something?

SBBSecho "rescan" is a rescan of all areas (not just newly added), so I suspect
the help text is just wrong.

Thanks, I will change my help text to reflect that.
