Simple answer. The NewsGroups: header line contain a comma separated list of all the newsgroups to cross post to. When editing your post, just change this line. As an example, I changed the newsgroup line of your message to: Newsgroups: news.newusers.questions,misc.test to cross post to 'misc.test'. Hopefully, *IF* anyone reads that group, they won't be offended :-) -- ---------- Lawrence W.
