Sorry for sending my last two post to the wrong list. It was a technical glitch- I put in the wrong address in the gnus_public field in bbdb, thus the parent posts were filtered to the wrong group. :-( Charles -- "I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb. Thank you." (By Vance Petree, Virginia Power)
