  • not getting arealist

    From August Abolins@2:221/1.58 to All on Mon Apr 1 14:59:00 2019
    Hello!


    I sent a request for an arealist yesterday, but the program complains that there are no areas to pick from.

    Regards,

    Assuming that you've now actually received the arealist, have you
    imported it?

    I eventually noticed the paragraphs you wrote about that in the user
    guide. It sure is really easy to pick and area and generate an areafix request with opx. No uppercase/lower case and weird spacing issues as in WinPoint.

    Yeah, I thought it was in there somewhere ;)

    Here's an undocumented feature for you .....

    It has a search function which is invoked by pressing "s".

    THAT *is* totally undocumented. (Does not appear in the F1).

    Very handy. It even looks for strings within text. Nice. That emulates what Thunderbird/ManageAreas can do.
