| Many thanks, everyone. I seem to have the Outlook Express account
set

| baffling dialog box. Not sure how to set that up, so any guidance
| there would be great. Regards, James

|
| "C:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe" /newsonly

|
| then tools/accounts

| enter news.microsoft.com and click next then finish

| 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 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

taking over
| AOL
| web browsing (AOL says it's using the Google Browser now),
should I

advice
| is
| appreciated. James
