This was because I had used "gngp" without the "-a" flag on the active file, which produces anomalous results because the stuff after the newsgroup name is treated as part of the last token. So "all.test" doesn't match "misc.test xxxx" since "test" doesn't match "test xxxx". -- Felix Lee flee@shire.cs.psu.edu *!psuvax1!flee
