   - Go to  Fido -> Nodelists -> Update   
   - Navigate your way to the directory which contains the diff file   
   - Cursor over the diff file and press

   Yeah and we both know what happened :-((   
      
   This is looking like a Windows specific problem because I can     
   reproduce the problem in my Windows install of OpenXP but I cannot     
   reproduce the problem in my Linux install of OpenXP ??????
