I haven't actually checked recently, but last I knew, you had to download headers manually. You can then set pan offline and queue up a bunch of downloads, then quit pan. Then restarting pan will fetch the queued downloads. (I think it starts back up in online mode, that is, it doesn't store offline mode status, but I'm not positive and obviously, am not going to try it right now to verify. =8^) Note that pan does take NZB files on the command line, and actually stores its queue as an NZB file. So you can use that method for exporting NZBs as well, and import them via command line if you have an NZB source. Eventually, slated for after the 1.0 stable release which is coming up, pan will get the ability to autodownload headers, probably as part of the scoring options (so you may have to create a score to give everything you want to download a positive or watched score, but that's doable, once the autodownload code is there at all), but it doesn't have it yet. One option you can use as a workaround would be to setup a proper local newsserver, such as leafnode, and have it do your autodownloading. Then simply connect pan to it. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
