   I currently already pull in Usenet. I was just curious as to if the list of   
   newsgroups that BBBS was getting was stored in an accessible file. Like the   
   echomail areas currently are in the external.bbb file? It would save having to   
   enter/edit the Usenet areas separately in BCFG4.
