Hmmmm, dunno, this is a tricky one.

 ACN>>> and it is the first of the two checkbox options below
 ACN>>> "process by". Have a look at the help text, maybe this
 ACN>>> makes it clearer?

Yes but it says "OpenXP will call its own nodelist processor to process  
the diff update". Well yes, it will, but that doesn't describe the true  
purpose of this particular option.
