Hi=2C Tom

You are welcome.

The hobbit windows client does use the syntax of bbdisplay per-line=2C
Mine looks like following and it work in an intranet setting.


<bbwin>
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"bbdisplay" value=3D"hobbit1.test.com" />
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"bbdisplay" value=3D"hobbit2.test.com" />
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 <!-- BB Pager Part -->
=A0=A0=A0 <!--<setting name=3D"usepager" value=3D"false" />
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"bbpager" value=3D"hobbit1.test.com" />
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"bbpager" value=3D"hobbit2.test.com" />
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"pagerlevels" value=3D"red yellow" />=20
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 -->
=A0=A0=A0=20
=A0=A0=A0 <!-- proxy connection settings -->
=A0=A0=A0 <!--
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"useproxy" value=3D"false" />
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"proxy" value=3D"[user:password@]host[:port]'/>
=A0=A0=A0 -->
=A0=A0=A0=20
=A0=A0=A0 <!-- bbwin mode local or central -->
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"mode" value=3D"central" />
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"configclass" value=3D"win32" />
<snip>=A0=A0=A0=20
