If anyone is using Hogwasher as their newsreader on a Mac, I could use
some advice on setting it up.

I'm using hogwasher, but I'm far from being an expert. I can try to give you
a hand with it.

I can't remember how I set it up, just sorta splashed around until I figured
it out.

Here's the basics...

1 - go to the "set-up" menu
2 - select "accounts"
3 - click the top left icon (hover the mouse pointer over that icon, a
caption should pop up that say's "new"...click it)
4 - select "news" for the account type, and click OK.
5 - fill in the news server info, and a user name (just type in your
name...or whatever you want to post under. I'm pretty sure this is just a
user name to post under)

I can't remember how to configure/import the newsgroups, but let me know if
you get the basics (above) set up and I'll refresh myself on the newsgroup
setup part. Hope this helps!

Thanks RJ. I appreciate the reply. As it happens in all the HW
confusion I downloaded and installed another reader called Unison. It
seems to be all right.

I switched from the Hog to Unison a few months ago. They each do things
I wish the other did. Hogwasher has more powerful filtering capability,
although you can duplicate most of it by fiddling with Unison's
filtering controls.

I can't remember what it was I didn't like about Hogwasher, but I
remember it was something that was a real irritant at the time.
