   Errrrrrrm, it's the first one that does that :-))

   Adds the selected system to your mailboxes.

   You're not looking in the right places :-)   
      
   Look in "Extras/Uplinks" and you should see a new entry in the "Systems" pane.   
   Click the "Properties" button for the new entry and WinPoint should have   
   filled in most of the details for you. However, it doesn't get them all   
   correct but it's a simple matter of editing them manually.    
      
   I'd never seen this feature before you mentioned it but, at first sight, I   
   wondered what possible use could that be. Well, it actually answers a question   
   I've been asking myself for a very long time - "How do I poll a Node other   
   than my BossNode?" - and the answer to that is revealed when I click on the   
   Down-Arrow to the right of the "Poll" button. In other words, not only does   
   WinPoint add a new "Mailbox", it also adds the new "Mailbox" to the list of   
   systems to poll.   
      
   Wow, this thing just gets better and better :-))   
      
   Many thanks for finding and reporting this.   
       
   Regards,   
   Martin
