   The Options - Signatures  section was still empty after a fresh new install of   
   the wp2005b5  (359.1) package - initial config and then replacement of the   
   executable with the v375.0 revison   
      
   I've exported the section   
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\New.Vision.Software\WinPoint\Textgroups]   
   from registry from a running installation and imported it to the fresh install   
   and voila - a group and templates of headers and footers are there, that I can   
   update on the fresh new install   
      
      
   regards, uli    ;-)
