I approved this message using the group web-interface, but it
just disappe=
ared. Group log shows it was approved, too.
I tried to approve the copy in=
my email, but when I click
"approve" link, it tells me message no longer e=
xists.

So, I am pasting in a copy of it here.

deas?

What address did you put your app at?

Did you also edit the "app di=
rectory" at 0x020000 in the dataflash?

I realize my documentation is rathe=
r sketchy, and I am not
very familiar with documentation for FYOS.....

...=
.OK, I downloaded fyos doc, skimmed thru it, and I have to
say, large hunks=
of it bear a striking resemblance to my docs.

It seems what fyos calls an=
"app record" is what I would call
an "app directory" entry. So, I will as=
sume you have not
entered the actual app code yet, and are just wanting to=
see
if you can add an empty selectable item to the "extras" menu.
(by the =
way, if your mailstation has the "yahoo" folder, the
new app will appear th=
ere, and not in extras.)

So, you need to edit page 0x08 of the dataflash, =
which is at
raw address 020000
(i fergit how many leading zeroes are displ=
ayed in mailstation's
hex editor.) you want to make it look like this:

0=
20000 01 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 18 00 00 00 00 00 00
