    It means that you've defined a different origin to your default origin
    for that particular area.

    Hmmm.. It seems to have gone away, on its own! I did not mess with
    Origins. I'm not even sure how to do that in oxp.

    There are three places in OpenXP where you can define an origin:

    [1] Default origin:
    /Edit/Servers/Edit/Names

    [2] Group origin:
    /Edit/Groups/Netz/Edit/Fido

    [3] Area origin:
    /Special
    Cursor over the area you wish to define a specific origin for
    and press <Enter>.

    I've just changed mine for this area and I now see an "O" in the left-
    hand column ;-)

    Hello Martin!

    I am now inside Apoint, but this reply is about OXP.

    There are three places in OpenXP where you can define an origin:

    [1] Default origin:
    /Edit/Servers/Edit/Names

    [2] Group origin:
    /Edit/Groups/Netz/Edit/Fido

    [3] Area origin:
    /Special
    Cursor over the area you wish to define a specific origin
    for
    and press <Enter>.

    Too many options! :) I can still get lost between the /S)pecial and /W)rite menus!

    The different levels of customizing the Origin is not too bad. I wonder what the author had in mind to desire manipulating the text in the origin line so much.

    Versatility perhaps :)
