   Yes, that's what I said but .....

   ..... I forgot to mention that the nodelist routines still run regardless     
   of whether there's anything in the /FILES directory that they need to     
   process.

   That's fine.

   That has nothing to do with the nodelist routines, see the help topic for     
   a full explanation of what this feature is/does :)
