Welcome back.

I thought you "figured out" WinPoint a long time ago.

Winpoint requires manual steps to accomplish the nodelist  
inclusion and updates.  But from what I can remember, you need  
to make Extras/Options/Nodelist to look like this:

 https://susepaste.org/84517042

 ..where all the expected files are in the /DistribNL directory.

 ..and, since your point is in Zone 1, you should put "1" in the  
last field where I have "2".

Then, when all that is copacetic, all you have to do is:

  Fidonet /Process Nodelists (or Shift+Ctrl+L)

Then.. when you invoke the handy nodelist viewer with F9, you  
should see what you expect.

HTH.

BTW... Winpoint now has its own echo: WINPOINT.  Maybe hook to  
that while you're at it.  ;)
