You have to configure the respective file area for each node list/diff in the
node/pointlest settings.

Also, you have to use either the diff or the full list for the automatic update
of a list. Enabling both may result in "nothing" because if WP finds more than
two lists (also because you stockpiled them in the file area and now all of them
show up), it will do nothing. Full lists are only replaced, if exactly two
matching files/(e.g., NODELIST.007 and NODELIST.014) are in the DistribNL
folder. In this case, the older one will get renamed to NODELIST.OLD and the
remaining one will go into processing. Since later no more than one file is
assumed to arrive per week this works automatically as long as you grab them
every week.

BTW: THis underlying basics habe been used in WP95 already, so this (contrary to
nowadays public belief) was basically working for decades now. The only
limitation was that until now, WP was only relying on DIFFs (not supporting
automatic update from full list files). In addition, the files had to ne in
DistribNL or Inbound, so if TIC-processing was enabled in WP2005 it moved the
files out of sight. So for WP2005, either this had to be disabled or some people
used scripts to move/decompress the files directly to DistribNL to trigger the
automatic processing.

Tim
