No. In Netscape preferences (the window) under 'Newsgroup Servers' I added news-server.kc.rr.com, made it the default, got rid of the original 'news' entry that was there. That was the entry I was talking about. I didn't read the original post and don't know what effect this would have on that problem. I was taking issue with the part of the reply that said the original 'news' entry in netscape can't be removed. Of course it can. I've been without it for years (except any time I do a brand-stinkin'-new install: at that point I have the original useless entry until I replace it with a real server entry and delete it). -- Sarcasm is just one of the many services we offer. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
