Thank you, David. That definitely helps. The next problem I encounter is that when I do a "J s", I'm told: Fetching headers for nntp+news.berkshire.net:comp.fonts... Creating directory: invalid argument, n:/home/nwalsh/News/agent/nntp/news.berkshire.net/nntp+news/berkshire/net:comp I'm betting the problem is that second colon, but I don't see any config info for setting this and I've had little luck finding anything in the *.el files. Help, again? Maybe nntp really doesn't work as a secondary select method? --norm
