[Xastir] Configuration of operation not clear

[Rice, MA Mark @ IS]

Thanks for the assist, Curt.

While looking through the help files, I found a screen shot of the
timing window:

For my APRS setup at home, there is no DIGI-peater for over 25 miles.
My antenna and power output (25feet-25watts) is capable of reaching it,
but I've seen some low-power local APRS activity that never reaches a
DIGI.

I'd like to enable my Xastir setup to respond to Wide1-1 as a fill-in.  

How is that accomplished?  All I've seen my setup transmit is the posit
beacon and nothing else (at least... nothing else that I can tell...).
See:
http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/raw.cgi?call=N4CMB

In the on-line wiki, it says:
"Home fill-in digi's (only where absolutely needed) should be set up to
respond to 'WIDE1-1' now instead of 'RELAY'.  "

What menu item sets a response to Wide1-1 activity?  Sorry to be so
basic in my questions...

I'll bet you're using Lesstif instead of OpenMotif, or perhaps an
OpenMotif with that particular bug.

It's a bug in the Motif widget set that you're currently using in any
case.  I don't have that bug with OpenMotif on OpenSuSE-10, but several
others have reported it when they use Lesstif.

These are the sliders in the current Xastir:

On the left:
------------
Posit TX Interval (min)
Object/Item TX Interval (min)
GPS Check Interval (sec)
Dead-Reckoning Timeout (min)
New Track Time (min)
RINO -> Objects Interval (min), 0=Disabled Snapshot Interval (min)

On the right:
-------------
Station Ghosting Time (min)
Station Clear Time (hours)
Station Delete Time (days)
Serial Inter-Char Delay (ms)
New Track Interval (degrees)
Internet Map Timeout (sec)
