Tkplay RDF Server Configuration Dialog
Host/Port combobox
Enter a new rdf server host/port here. Press to add the server. The "Add" button may also be used to add a new server.

The arrow button at the right activates a drop-down menu. Whenever a new server is entered (and or Add is pressed)
Ping Server button
Send a ping to the server to see if it's still alive. The button will turn green if a valid reponse is heard from the server. The button will turn red if one is never received, or an invalid reponse is received.
Load Commands button
Pressing this button will cause the current list of filters to be cleared and replaced with the filters available on the current server.
Send Command entry field
Debugging feature:
Use at your own Risk!
Send a command to the server. The arguments of this field are passed to the "Rinfo::send_cmd" procedure exactly as-is. Callbacks must be set here or defaults will be used.
Send Direct entry field
Debugging feature:
Use at your own Risk!
Send a command to the server. The arguments of this field are passed directly to the server. Since the message is sent directly to the server, no callbacks can be set for the command. As a result, the behaviour for callbacks is undefined. Existing callbacks may be used, and thus, may produce an error.
Add button
This button takes the contents of the server host/port combobox and tries to add it as the current server. If the server has been contacted before, it is set as the new server and a ping is sent to make sure it is still alive. If it has not been contacted before, a check will be performed to see if it's a valid tkplay server.

Note that the server being displayed in the topmost entry is the current server. If this server is not currently active, then any future communications to the server (such as filtering, graphing, displaying index tags) will FAIL. There must be an active server listed in this field for these communications to work.
Delete button
Deletes the server listed in the host/port combobox from the server list. This doesn't really need to be used since a new server can be selected.
Close button
Close the server dialog window
