   Hmmmm, dunno, this is a tricky one.   
      
    ACN>>> and it is the first of the two checkbox options below   
    ACN>>> "process by". Have a look at the help text, maybe this   
    ACN>>> makes it clearer?

   Yes but it says "OpenXP will call its own nodelist processor to process     
   the diff update". Well yes, it will, but that doesn't describe the true     
   purpose of this particular option.
