    MF> - Close the request editor.   
      
    MF> - Now look in the outbound window and your request should be sitting

    MF> - Double-click the .req file and the "Poll Node" window should pop up.

   Update .....   
      
   After further testing, the two steps enclosed between my two snip     
   markers above are not required. As a consequence, the bit about     
   "that's the one where the line of text was" no longer applies either.
