What I actually meant was this: I want to search for a string within an individual posting itself. In rn, you use 'g fixed_string' to find this string once you have accessed comp.sys.amiga and are already reading the introductory posting. I am assuming that the user can only read my article (or posting) if he knows how to access the newsgroup (or notes file) 'comp.sys.amiga', and thus it would be pointless to tell him (or her ;-) how to gain access in the posting itself. I also wanted to know how to save an article or posting in your disk space or home directory (or whatever) for future reference. Sorry if I was not clear on this. I posted this message, because I want to encourage other people to mail me if they use a different news reader and know how to do the above things. (or know that it isn't possible) Please mail me!
