OK, got that one solved.  Now my problem is that I can't get my 
newsgroups preferences to remain.  I want to be able to have my new NG 
posts threaded, with the most recent threads on top.  I can get them 
viewed that way, but when I close and reenter the NG, the changes don't 
remain.  I have to play with the views agian until I get it the way I 
want EVERY TIME.  How can I get my viewing prefs to remain?
