That way a user has to at least figure out how to use postnews before he/she can bother the entire net. I also changed postnews so that if the user specifies a distribution of 'net' they are then asked if they 'really want the ENTIRE world to see the article'. These changes were easy to make and have resulted in a slightly higher level of user awareness. -- Dave Brierley Raytheon Co.; Portsmouth RI; (401)-847-8000 x4073 ...!decvax!brunix!rayssd!dhb ...!allegra!rayssd!dhb ...!linus!rayssd!dhb Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
