just realized that when I delete one news group all other
news
groups are also deleted-----after nine years of using this
thing
I still learn something every day.

Just think of all the wonderful salmagundi that I have
wasted.

Any suggestions of a method of deleting all Roff mess
without
wiping out other newsgroups? I use AT&T world


jOE

thanks for all the suggestions--I will try to understand them
tomorrow PM ( got to college in AM-just like OPIE}
but think I need to explain what I'm doing now---
read messages on a newsgroup- roff- bass fishing etc--then
want to
delete so I hit
Tools-Options-Maintenance-clean up now-delete-yes-close- ok
Is there another way to delete all read messages on a
newsgroup?
The problem ( I have just realized } is that this method
deletes
all other unread newsgroups.

Please realize that when you send suggestions for better
methods
you are writing to an old indian who never was even any good
at
starting the fire under the blanket ! Keep it simple- thanks
again Joe
