I know the following message should have been sent by email, but none of the 8 or so combinations of address would get this to the relevant uucp machine.

Sorry for the dreadful message. To the best of my knowledge (and hence comment at the end of the Mews documentation) this only arises if Mews cannot open or find the directory specified on the Config card. I think the directory name should be a full pathname, i.e. disk:folder:folder etc. > Secondly, Is there a way to transfer the newsgroup list and articles > read from the 1.3.1 stack to the 1.3.2 stack? This would make things > much easier than selecting them all. If you are on the newsgroup list card, clicking on the Save button will save the newsgroup list (default name .newsrc, though not compatible with rn), and clicking on the Recal button will allow you to read the list from a file. > Other than that it seems to work very well.
