Re: trouble finding peers

Hi Steve -

  MyJXTA searches for "well known (bidi)pipe advs" in the same way the 
following query
  is issued via JXTA Shell:

       % search -r -aName -vJxta:IMFreeCommand.*

  Also, when MyJXTA instances chat receiving peers will issue a fully 
qualified query.
  Assuming "gonzo@home" sent the message the equivalent JXTA Shell query 
is now:

       % search -r -aName -vJxta:IMFreeCommand.gonzo@home

  The "peers" in the MyJXTA network panel are actually (bidi)pipes.

  One can also import (file dialog or dnd) advertisements of varying 
type (pipe, group,
  content) which is another means to populate MyJXTA with network resources.

  The MyJXTA help->about screen includes much of the above.

  rock on,

- james
