I must be lucky with the default settings as nothing has changed after I
followed the easy set up procedure for the bulletin columns sent by ZL1AB
BBS.
The procedure is to have some bulletins in the bulletins list (I have
heaps).
Click the Bulls head icon to display the bulletin list.
Click the OPTIONS menu
Click on "Bulletin Columns" from the drop down list
Choose a bulletin header line to use for the setting up procedure.
Click on "FROM"
Click on the callsign the message is "from" in the bulletin list (eg
GB7CIP the G)
Click on "TO"
click on the first word of the TO field (eg Winpack@GBR the "W")
Click on "AT" (actually the @ symbol)
Click on the @ symbol (eg Winpack@GBR the @ symbol)
Click on "TITLE" (the first word & first character)
Click on the first word of the Title (eg Winpack Setup the W)
That's all there is to do.
All done in five minutes or less.

I note that there is a difference between the column numbers in the
[BULLETINS] section of the Packet.ini to what the [FBB] section has. Maybe
someone knowledgable can comment on it?
