Bob, Thank you for your reply. I have Microsoft Outlook (Office XP).
Would you be so kind as to enumerate the steps you would take to
implement an Outlook approach to this newsgroup? Best regards, James

I use a newsreader to go directly to the Usenet newsgroups. I find the web
portals tiresome, slow, inundated with bits of detail that I am not
interested in, and selective in what they show. Give me the direct approach
any day. There are many client applications that will access newsgroups,
Outlook Express, Forte Agent, to name but 2.

I am using Google on AOL to read and reply to posts in the Excel
newsgroups. I am told that I should use a "news reader" instead, but
apparently I don't get it. Now that Google seems to be taking over AOL
web browsing (AOL says it's using the Google Browser now), should I
just go with G-mail and a full Google-friendly approach? Any advice is
appreciated. James
