   ..... this time, select "New" instead of "Edit".   
      
   - The cursor should be in the "Server" input field, press .   
   - In the "User" input field, type the name(or part of the name) you        
     wish to twit out.   
   - If the name is in one of your installed nodelists/pointlists, OpenXP     
     should pop up the details in its nodelist browser.   
   - Press  over the name.   
      
   You can then proceed with the rest of the setup.   
      
   However, if the name is neither in any of your nodelists nor in any of     
   your pointlists, OpenXP won't let you go any further. The "User" must     
   be a listed system.

   I've just tried this on my Windows installation and it worked without     
   problems with a listed system. I tried it again with an unlisted     
   system and OpenXP wouldn't let me go any further, I had to press      
   to get out of the dialogue.
