Possibly.

- Go to  Fido -> Nodelists -> Update
- Navigate your way to the directory which contains the diff file
- Cursor over the diff file and press <Enter>

This is looking like a Windows specific problem because I can  
reproduce the problem in my Windows install of OpenXP but I cannot  
reproduce the problem in my Linux install of OpenXP ??????
