OK, that worked -- thanks.  Now I run into another problem -- when I
try to post something in one of the newsgroups, first it asked me for
a user name, since none is necessary, I just hit enter.  Then it said
do you want to post to this possibly unknown newsgroup.  When I said
yes, it started reading -- I cancelled after 3 megabytes, not sure if
it wanted to read the whole newsgroup into memory or something.
Nothing like this is mentioned in the manual -- I have not quite read
the whole thing yet.

Thanks.

Your life is like a penny.  You're going to lose it.  The question is:
How do
you spend it?
