   Looks like WinPoint is sending messages now, as I see a further five posts   
   from you in this area all bearing the WinPoint tearline.   
      
    AA> The request to get a nodelist worked well.   
      
   Excellent.

   Yes, it is a bit confusing.

   Nope, they're purely cosmetic settings for the imported areas list.   
      
   Beschreibung/Anfangspalte = start column of the area description.   
   Areaname/Anfangspalte = start column of the area tag.   
      
   I'm not sure what the other one is supposed to do but a literal translation   
   would be "Area description/Relative line" or possibly "Area description/Line   
   offset".   
      
   Regards,
