OK, fine .....

...... this time, select "New" instead of "Edit".

- The cursor should be in the "Server" input field, press <Enter>.
- In the "User" input field, type the name(or part of the name) you     
  wish to twit out.
- If the name is in one of your installed nodelists/pointlists, OpenXP  
  should pop up the details in its nodelist browser.
- Press <Enter> over the name.

You can then proceed with the rest of the setup.

However, if the name is neither in any of your nodelists nor in any of  
your pointlists, OpenXP won't let you go any further. The "User" must  
be a listed system.

I've just tried this on my Windows installation and it worked without  
problems with a listed system. I tried it again with an unlisted  
system and OpenXP wouldn't let me go any further, I had to press <ESC>  
to get out of the dialogue.
