I really wish I could help.  I had a very nice Jam-based Sempoint  
operation many years ago.

Is that AREAS.BBS file in plain text, example:

SBBS     SYNCHRONET   1:3615/50
SYNCDATA SYNCDATA     1:3615/50
SYNC_SYS SYNC_SYSOPS  1:3615/50

Here's one.

If you are only needing one area (for test and evaluation purposes), why  
not Configure the area manually.

Copy the set of your Jam files (to preserve your originals) to the SEM  
subfolder of your choice, then proceed to:

C)onfiguration, A)reas, A)dd..  and proceed with the details.

When it comes to the "Path or Filename", you can navigate the config to  
where the jam files are.  It is primarily looking for the .JHR file.

And NOTE that you need to manually select "Jam" in the Configuration  
Areas" panel, even *after* you seleted the .JHR file.

Hope this helps.

PS..

I have never been successful in creating messages from scratch (that is,  
from ones that don't have any messages in there already).  I've use  
Apoint's version with modest success.  But I don't remember how I did it  
many years ago when my messages were tossed with Fastecho.

[BTW..  I still haven't received my Fastecho reg key  :(  ]
