In relation to this, I am willing to set up a NEWS<->Mailing list for the new
groups.  I have thought about it a lot and have decided that I can spare the
time.  This will work in the same was and the current handhelds mailing list.
I do hope to improve the software I am using the impliment this gateway.

I have not seen anyone else step up to take this on, with the exeption of 
Chris who was willing to pass things on as they were moderated.  My feed has
been erratic for a week due to news problems at an upstream site so I could
have missed some items on this.  I will set up the lists and post a message
to handhelds when they are ready.  I don't have to wait for news group creation
so I will get on this right away so people can sign up.  I had not heard of
problems with the new groups and am going to check it out now.  I will repost
if I find anything that affects plans for the mailing lists.
