I could see a GROUP command to set the group and then some kind of BATCH command to transfer all the contents of a a group as one batch. This minimizes the number of transactions and really looks like a TRANSPORT. NEWNEWS/ARTICLE (as stated previously) is for newsreaders. -- Stan internet: sob@bcm.tmc.edu Director, Networking Olan uucp: rutgers!bcm!sob and Systems Support Barber Opinions expressed are only mine.
