I cant figure out what command to use to make a NEW area file I found the commands for editing and prototyping but not making a NEW one

I think you just use rassign to assign rooms to a player, then have that player SAVE AREA (or whatever it is).

The help for rassign seems to agree with that...


RASSIGN MASSIGN OASSIGN
Syntax: rassign
        oassign 
        massign

NEVER do this to someone who has an area assigned to them. This would
change the range for the area they have assigned and wipe out the area.
