I noticed A M finds Harry> Zombies and Killed groups. no idea what i might have set that would affect this. i don't have much in the way of customization, actually, except in posting-styles. in fact, i see even that is mostly commented out now. 'A A' does get the complete list, that is usually what i have to do when i want to look for a group, 'A A' and then C-s. it works, it's just not efficient. mp =2D --=20 Michael Powe michael@trollope.org Waterbury CT USA "Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea -- massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it." -- Gene Spafford =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+2Lx2UFRfMHc4lysRAlRdAJ9eItF3S1+wE0ZvyRwbrmozOm/I9gCgqKi6 sfh8lb+3vw2GIxAujwiu1kc=3D =3D7SM4 =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
