Thanks for your reply, Tom, but still No Joy. I did exactly what you said, this time
getting the Server Hostname onboard, and the following still occurs: it says "Online",
but shows zero connections; there is a 'News' item in the right hand column, but not a
mention of the particular News Server; NO list of available groups ever gets
downloaded (it shows 'Queued' *forever*, no matter what I do); whatever I enter into
Settings, by way of the Server config. page will NOT be there by the next time I look
in the Config Notebook. I don't know if the install was somehow a dud, or if there is
any way to test the proposition, one way or the other.

At this point, I wouldn't know. NS 4.61 just works for this, with no fiddling
whatsoever, and I haven't checked out Newsgroups within Mozilla yet.
