+====== Area Info Files ======
+If you want to have an information file displayed for sub-boards when using
+the 'I' scanning command and 'IS' main menu command, create a file for the
+sub-board in the ''data/subs'' directory using the internal code for that sub-board
+as the base filename and any supported display/menu file suffix/extension. Example:
+  data/subs/general.msg
+If you want to create in information file for file directories to be displayed
+with the 'ID' transfer section command, create a file for the directory in
+the ''data/dirs'' directory using the internal code as the base filename and any
+supported display/menu file suffix/extension. Example:
+  data/dirs/games.ans
+If you want to create a custom file listing header for a file directory, create
+a file in the data/dirs directory using the internal code as the name and ''.hdr''
+as the extension. Example:
+  data/dirs/games.hdr
