Hi Quilly,
You "Old Pros" have learned so much, you speak chapters in each word
and forget that Nubies like me can't keep up. alt.games.microsoft-sim
seems like an incomplete address. Like I said, I can fly but internet
addresses (like all computer stuff) are new to me. Give a bloke a break
and I'd be happy to join your group. Tnx, Scooter


Hey scooter,

I just popped over to the alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim newsgroup
and don't see a posting there from you yet. Did you manage to "find"
it OK?

If not, maybe, just maybe, this might help. I don't know what
program(s) you may be using, but I use AGENT for my newsgroup stuff.
With it, at the top of my screen in the toolbar is "TOOLS". In the
drop-down there, pick "Newsgroup Directory". That brings up a big
box, with a directory of all the Newsgroups it knows about, beginning
with "0", and on through "12HR.sex" and on and on and on.... On mine,
there are about 45,000 of them listed, including the one you want,
alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim Scroll down until you find it. On
mine, the "scroll-bar" on the right side has to be approximately 3/8
of the way down to be anywhere NEAR the correct place. The newsgroup
list is ABSOLUTELY alphabetical, so just keep looking at how they do
that sort, and eventually you'll get to the one you want. When you
find it, just "pick" it, and that should get added to your browser
page.

Hope it works.
