The Add Hosts from Hostfile button enables the user to read a list of hosts from a file and add them to the Host list all at once. The most common file that can be used in this way is the PVM hostfile that was used to start PVM (whether by daemon or by console). This is a safe way of ensuring that the names in the Host list match those given to PVM. Note, however, that nothing will appear in the Host commands list opposite these new entries. This button will only be available for use if the user has previously selected a PVM Hostfile in the PVM Menu in the PADE Main window before invoking the PADE Setup Window.
