   * **Update lists** downloads the **Synchronet BBS List** and the **Telnet BBS Guide**. Nothing is downloaded until you press it. Saltbush asks the web server to send a list only if it has changed since last time, and keeps the downloaded lists in its settings folder.
   * The list is grouped: **Recent** (the BBSes you have called, newest first, with the **Kalgoorlie Retro BBS** always at the top), **Your BBS systems** (ones you added), then one group per list. Type in **Search** to find a BBS by name, address or description. Hover over a BBS, or select it, to see its description.
-  * **Connect** (or double-click) opens the BBS in a new tab with the BBS settings (CP437, ANSI-BBS, the VGA font, 80×25, BBS keys), and the BBS moves to Recent.
+  * **Connect** (or double-click) opens the BBS in a new tab with the BBS settings (CP437, ANSI-BBS, the VGA font, 80×25, BBS keys), and the BBS moves to Recent. The other settings come from your default session, but not its logins: an RLogin credential, SSH key, agent or X11 forwarding, forwards and logon automation are never used for a BBS from the directory.
-  * **Save as session** adds the BBS to the Session Manager at the top level, like a session made with **New Session**. Use it for BBSes you want to change settings for, log in to with a credential, or use with logon scripts.
+  * **Save as session** adds the BBS to the **Sessions** folder in the Session Manager, like a session made with **New Session**. Use it for BBSes you want to change settings for, log in to with a credential, or use with logon scripts.
   * **Add…** adds a BBS of your own (name, connection type, address, port, user name and description). **Edit…** changes it and **Remove** deletes it.
   * A BBS from a list cannot be edited in place, because the next update would undo the change. **Copy and edit…** copies it to **Your BBS systems** to change it there. **Remove from Recent** puts a BBS you have called back in its list.

 ===== Import a SyncTERM list =====

RLogin passwords in the list can be kept as credentials in the password store (a credential you already have with the same name is never overwritten; the new one gets a name like "Name (2)"). As in the BBS Directory, the imported sessions do not take the default session's logins.
