I have the Configure Kontact in front of me and all I see is an Update All
Stations and Stop Weather Service buttons.  There is a check mark button
and an X button.  There is an area to type in an address but I don't know
where to aquire an address for a weather service in my area.  So I guess I
need some more help here.
