I know there are other ways to access these newsgroups, but I don't know what they are or how to use them, except through AOL. If you do create a new newsgroup, please tell us how to get to it other than through our local ISP's news server. There are several Web-to-Usenet gateways that let you browse newsgroups with your preferred browser. As far as I know they are even free. There is one at hotbot (www.hotbot.com/usenet) and of course there's dejanews (www.dejanews.com) but there surely are lots of others out there. I would suggest dejanews. They provide an excellent service. Thanks, Scarlett tom -- "The perversity of the Universe tends towards a maximum." (Finagle's Law) Thomas 'Tom' Berger, [EMAIL PROTECTED] No UCE. No spam.

Netscape'll do it too. Just create mail filters that put messages that contain [newbie] and [expert] into different folders. I use this method to keep about 6 mailing lists straight.
