At the meeting, Ray asked me a question that some others couldn't answer.
I couldn't until I was in front of my machine. In the event someone else
has the same question, I thought that I'd post on the SCOUG list as well
as to Ray.

How do you expire old articles from Netscape 4.61's newsreader?

- On the far left window you'll see the news server names that you have
subscribed to. Your example was news.stardock.com. Click on the plus
sign (+) next to the news server name, and you'll see the list of
newsgroups on that server that you've subscribed to;

- Select the newsgroup name that you want to work with;

- Click on that name with mouse button #2;

- Select "Newsgroup Properties" from the popup menu;

- From the Properties notebook, select the "Disk Space" tab;

- Select the button marked "Keep messages which have arrived witin the
past 30 days;

- You may change the default of 30 days to any number that you wish.

You're on your own from there. :-)

Hope this helps someone.
