   SINNER was all like, you know, and then said something like a ...   
      
   > set server_object "nntp"   
   > server "" ""   
      
   That's just the problem. I don't have a FQDN, so I use "localhost". In   
   leafnode I had to use: "hostname =blacktopbum.off.the.wall.org" instead a   
   FQDN. So, what's the server for leafnode?

   Has changed to : If you want to create /home/cmo/.jnewsrc, add command   
   line options:  -f /home/cmo/.jnewsrc --create

   Haven't much tried slrn (reading only) until I got more in place ... now   
   that I am aware of the "k" - who could ask for more of what options it   
   offers?

   Excellent URL's - who's da man? YOU da man .   
      
   BTW, I've tried to ost using slrn but I must be missing some step:   
   do followup or new post   
   type it in editor   
   save it in editor and am switched back to slrn   
   asked it I really want to post, postpone, etc.   
   choose post   
   "cannot write to News/postponed"   
   check later if post went to alt.test - nope
