   Winpoint needs to be running for that to work.  You're messin' with my     
   mind.  :/   Make sure you have Winpoint running, drop a nodelist.z## in     
   the \DistribNL folder and watch Winpoint change it from nodelist.z## to     
   nodelist.###   
      
      
    AA>> It's even documented, by you.  ;)   
      
    MF> Where?   
      
   It was a brief confirmation in echomail.  Despite my archive of msgs in     
   POINTS, I can't seem to spot the specific exchange we had about it.  I     
   just accepted Winpoint's auto-extraction of the nodelist as default, and     
   moved on.  But the bottom line was that the .Z## file had to be physically     
   moved to the /DistribNL directory after a file-request.   
      
   Even if you don't have Winpoint running when you do the drag-drop, the     
   .Z## file will be automatically extracted the next time you launch     
   Winpoint.  And, this is assuming you still have all the fields in Extras/    
   Options/Nodelists filled in - of course.

   :(  See above.

   How do we get their attention to crawl out of that dark corner. If I had     
   the $$$$$$'s, I'd be using it to cover actual bills at this time.
