Hello Martin..

My new installation of oxp is not persisting with the S(h)ow settings I  
want for the Areas.  For example, when I first launch the program, I see,

  OpenXP  Re-Org  Message  Netcall  Fido  Edit  Config  Tools  ?
  All  Write  Text  Bin  Special  Seek  Show: new
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
 ¯ /¯Netcall
   /August Abolins/2:221/1.58
   /sysop/2:221/1.58
  /FIDO/FIDOGAZETTE
 ¯ /FIDO/FIDONEWS
   /FIDO/FILES/NODEDIFZ
   /FIDO/FILES/Z2PNT_D
  /FIDO/MEMORIES
  /FIDO/POINTS
  /FIDO/RBB.STATS.FE
  /FIDO/UTF-8


Then, when I set S(h)ow to ALL, I see,

  OpenXP  Re-Org  Message  Netcall  Fido  Edit  Config  Tools  ?
  All  Write  Text  Bin  Special  Seek  Show: all
+--------------------------------------------------------------+

                   ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿
                   ³ûAll        ³
                   ³ Unread     ³
                   ³ New        ³
                   ³ Today      ³
                   ³ Reorg.     ³
                   ³ Date/Time  ³
                   ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ

...and that looks good!

BUT, when I exit the program, and come back, the progam reverts to showing  
me the new messages only, again:

  OpenXP  Re-Org  Message  Netcall  Fido  Edit  Config  Tools  ?
  All  Write  Text  Bin  Special  Seek  Show: new
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
 ¯ /¯Netcall
   /August Abolins/2:221/1.58
   /sysop/2:221/1.58
  /FIDO/FIDOGAZETTE
 ¯ /FIDO/FIDONEWS
   /FIDO/FILES/NODEDIFZ
   /FIDO/FILES/Z2PNT_D
  /FIDO/MEMORIES
  /FIDO/POINTS
  /FIDO/RBB.STATS.FE
  /FIDO/UTF-8

Am I missing locking in the setting somewhere?   My old installation of  
oxp (same version) does not have that problem!
