    Adding a Contact
    ================
    TTBOMK, there are two ways of doing this, the easy way and the not so easy way:

    Easy way
    --------
    - Right-click anywhere in the Contacts list

    - Click "New Contact"

    - Fill in all the necessary information

    Not so easy way
    ---------------
    - Do a nodelist lookup on either the "From" or "To" address of the contact you wish to add.

    - Right-click on their nodelist entry in the Nodelist Browser

    - Click "Add Contact"

    Managing a Contact
    ==================
    - Right-click on the contact

    - Click "Properties"

    - Make any necessary changes

    Regards,
    Martin

    There used to be a help file included in the WinPoint distribution archive but it doesn't seem to be there anymore. Doesn't matter really because it was *very* old, in German and pressing <F1> didn't bring it up anyway :-((

    I used to maintain an English Installation Guide but owing to all the bugfixes, improvements and new features which have been implemented since Tim came back, I pulled the document because it had become obsolete.
