HELP! I am trying to get my 'sys' file right, but things are just not working out. What I am trying to accomplish is get ONLY certain parts of groups (ie.) soc.culture,soc.college but NOT the rest of soc. I have tried... !soc,soc.culture,soc.college soc.culture,soc.college,!soc !soc,soc.culture.all,soc.college soc.culture.all,soc.college,!soc I keep getting the unwanted messages put into "junk". The error message I get is: Newsgroups in active, but not sys Yes they are in active because the documentation says that ALL groups should be in the 'active' file - elimination of groups should be done in the 'sys' file. Any help would be greatly appreciated! A direct reply to me (mitch@hq) would even be more appreciated. Thanks in advance! Mitch Wright mitch@hq.af.mil -or- gretzky@unison.larc.nasa.gov -- ..mitch

Why not just ask your feed to only send you soc.culture and soc.college?
