Hello Martin!

** On Tuesday 09.03.21 - 09:09, you wrote to me:

 MF> Hmmmm, dunno, this is a tricky one.

How so?  That's exactly what that setting "enables". When the  
DIFF arives, OXP processes the DIFF.


 AA>> The English help is a bit closer because it says "...to

 MF> Yes but it says "OpenXP will call its own nodelist

Huh?  Isn't the "true purpose" to tell OXP that it is OK to  
kickstart the nodelist updates when a new DIFF arrives?
