    Hello All,

    How do I download the list of newsgroups?

    I hear you can add them with areafix.

    Iff you provided your areafix password etc. properly in the configuration you can just go to the echo area manager in WinPoint and hit the "%LIST" button. Lists will be requested on the next poll, but depending on the remote system you may receive the answer in the same or the next session. WP will also automatically process the lists if set up properly. For the first time, you have to right click on each list message (if multiple) and select "use as area list". WP will present you a calbration dialog and store the result for future use, so lists will be automatically processed the next time.

    Regards,
    Tim
