OK, I hate replying to myself but... I also had to move the folder "groups" out of the way and perform some significant editting of newsgroups.xov in order to get things the way I want them. Of course after moving "groups" out of the way, pan "forgot" all of the headers that had already been downloaded :-( Bruce _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
