Is there a way to have the Long name instead of the Short name for the message areas displayed? The only way I can see now is the edit the Tail.asc and change the AT code I think.

Displayed *where* exactly? Please be more precise in your questions.

Bottom of the main menu, the display is message group and message area in short name. I was wondering if it can be changed to long message name?

I think you're referring to the command *prompt* in the default command shell (exec/default.js) - that's not part of the menu.
Yes, you could change the prompt to include the long names (of group and/or sub-board) instead of short names, but the prompts may wrap typical (e.g. 80 column) terminals. But give it a try.
