News Group Info Dialog Elements

The objects on the Server Info dialog are as follows:

Group Display Area

This text area displays a list of news groups which have been entered. To the left of each group is a marker (ACTIVE: or INACT_:) which indicates whether the group is active or inactive. An group must be marked active to be processed when the Run button is pressed on the main dialog. This allows you search different sets of groups without having to re-type the names in every time you change. You might want to look for MP3 files in one set of newsgroups and AVI files in another.

If you click a line containing a group, the line becomes highlighted. The Edit, Activate, Deactivate, and Remove buttons will apply to this line.

If you click the OK button, the list of groups along with their activation status will be saved in the zub.ini file.
