    AA> Hello Martin,   
      
    MF>> Here's the simple warning I'd already added to the guide:   
      
    MF>> ---------- 8< ---------- WARNING: You are now in the domain field, which   
    MF>> is pre-configured to "fidonet". Although it's OK to change this to   
    MF>> something else, DO NOT LEAVE THIS FIELD EMPTY. If this field is empty,

    MF>> ----------   
      
    MF>> All uppercase words are in bold/red.   
      
    AA> That is excellent.  Maybe put "may" in bold and red too.   
      
   Yes, good idea, I'll do that.   
      
    AA> So.. the 5D spec doesn't care what text goes there?   
      
   I don't know what the spec says(cue Mark) but the very existence of     
   a domain input field suggests that WinPoint supports "othernets".   
      
    AA> Can it be "this cannot be empty" ?   
      
   Yes, it can :)   
      
    AA> The warning is most certainly critical.  I can see new user cleaning out   
    AA> that field and never suspect why a connection never succeeds.   
      
   Yes, precisely.   
      
   Regards,
