When reading netnews, as soon as I view a message, I get an error dialog 
telling me "EXPECTED END AFTER ON", and allowing me either to cancel or go 
to the script. If I cancel, the dialog box appears after a few seconds.  I 
looked at the script, and it's hairy & non-obvious enough for me to wish 
not to debug.  This is a version provided to me as being compatible with 
HyperCard 2.0, which I'm using, and it seemed to work fine for a number of 
weeks, after which this started to happen.

If anyone knows the problem and the solution, please E-mail me.  In fact, 
if there's a better (perhaps non-hypercard) method of viewing the netnews 
on a mac that someone has tried, I'd like to know about it, with an FTP 
address, if that's appropriate, or an emailed copy, if you want to.

Thanks in advance
