    * Click on the button at the left end of RSSbar, then default channel list will show up as pull-down menu, select whatever channel(feed) you want to get titles of.
    * Titles of the selected channel will scroll from right to left automatically in RSSbar, so click on the title you want to read detail, then you can jump to the page.
    * On IE7, channel will change eachtime you change tab, so you can select different channel on each tab.
    * Next time you launch IE, the channel you selected last time will already be selected.
    * You can subscribe to channel(feed) through config dialog by drag-and-dropping RSS-link into the panel in config dialog.

    * Through config dialog, you can set scroll speed, title number to display, interval to update feed, and activate "Random Channel".
    * "Checked channels only" in Random Channel means changing cahnnels among only checked channels in tree view.
    * Channel list of RSS feed is saved as OPML file in the "Application folder" of the user, so you can import the file to other RSS aggregator.
