   Welcome back.   
      
   I thought you "figured out" WinPoint a long time ago.   
      
   Winpoint requires manual steps to accomplish the nodelist     
   inclusion and updates.  But from what I can remember, you need     
   to make Extras/Options/Nodelist to look like this:   
      
    https://susepaste.org/84517042   
      
    ..where all the expected files are in the /DistribNL directory.   
      
    ..and, since your point is in Zone 1, you should put "1" in the     
   last field where I have "2".   
      
   Then, when all that is copacetic, all you have to do is:   
      
     Fidonet /Process Nodelists (or Shift+Ctrl+L)   
      
   Then.. when you invoke the handy nodelist viewer with F9, you     
   should see what you expect.   
      
   HTH.   
      
   BTW... Winpoint now has its own echo: WINPOINT.  Maybe hook to     
   that while you're at it.  ;)
