   WinPoint doesn't support that feature but it can be tricked into     
   thinking that it does :-))   
      
   The trick is ugly, it's not elegant and it must rank as the most     
   convoluted process ever but it does work.   
      
   Here we go .....   
      
   You need to find a message from the person to whom you wish to request     
   a file(s) from. If you can't find one, well, ummmmm, that's the end of     
   it and there's no need to go any further. Assuming that you've found     
   one, proceed as follows .....   
      
   - Right-click anywhere on the message in the viewer and click "Request     
     files from Message". This takes you into the request editor.   
      
   - Double-clicking on any line of text will place that line of text in      
     the "Request" window down near the bottom of the screen.   
      
   - Clear the line of text in the "Request" window by right-clicking on      
     the line of text and then click "Zeile loschen"(Delete line). You        
     may have to do that twice to clear the line of text.   
      
   - Click in the "Neuer Dateiname" field and enter the filename you wish     
     to request.   
      
   - Click the "Hinzufugen" button and the filename should move into the      
     window above(that's the one where the line of text was).   
      
   - Click the "Speichern" button.   
      
   - Click the "OK" button.   
      
   - Close the request editor.   
      
   - Now look in the outbound window and your request should be sitting       
     in the outbound queue.   
      
   - Double-click the .req file and the "Poll Node" window should pop up.   
      
   - Check all the details and if you're happy with them, click the "Ok"      
     button, otherwise, click the "Abbruch(Abort)" button.   
      
   Have fun :-))   
      
   Regards,   
   Martin
