-
- Only the ACTIVEFILE has to be sorted, the order of the GROUPLIST
- depends only on your taste. you can change the order by selecting
- groups and using the "V"-menu in the newsgroup-level.

- I don't think so, it's more likely that the unsorted activ-file did.

- Yep, but in the oinline-help are some bugs to :-(
- c is cancel and C is Catchup in the pager-level for example, in
- arnhelp.txt "C" is cancel too, which is wrong.

- Uaaahhh, please change this immedeately!
- You must use dots insteads of slashes!!!!!
- it should look like this:
-
- alt.flame
- alt.peeves
- alt.religion.computers
- alt.sources.amiga
-
- > My grouplist file is in this format:

-
- The grouplist must have no slashes either. Do a search/replace with
- you editor on both files and it'll be fine .

- Yeah, I'm away until 10. January. But I took my modem with me (not my Amiga
- however) and the "net" is fortunately everywhere present...:-)
-
- > Has anyone ANY clue as to why this '/' behaviour occurs?
-
- Replace all / into .
- In ACTIVEFILE and in GROUPLIST.
