ENiGMA½ offers a powerful and flexible file base. Configuration of file the file base and areas is handled via the `fileBase` section of `config.hjson`.

## ENiGMA½ File Base Key Concepts
First, there are some core concepts you should understand:
* Storage Tags
* Areas (and Area Tags)
* Area Tags
### Storage Tags
*Storage Tags* define paths to physical (file) storage locations that are referenced in a file *Area* entry. Each entry may be either a fully qualified path or a relative path. Relative paths are relative to the value set by the `areaStoragePrefix` key (defaults to `/path/to/enigma-bbs/file_base`).
*Storage Tags* define paths to physical (filesystem) storage locations that are referenced in a file *Area* entry. Each entry may be either a fully qualified path or a relative path. Relative paths are relative to the value set by the `fileBase.areaStoragePrefix` key (defaults to `/path/to/enigma-bbs/file_base`).
