i am currently new to usnet. Where can i find out how to get comfortably
with browsing. i seem to have trouble pulling up certain groups. on some of
the binaries they come up blank. I think i am doing something wrong.

Maybe the Prodigy server is fucked-up (headers don't
have corresponding message bodies) and/or you aren't
using Xnews properly.

What here?

Search past posts in 24HSHD
http://groups.google.com/group/24hoursupport.helpdesk
for

usenet primer

and

gangle combine and decode


Those 2 searches will find the posts about binaries and the many links
to Usenet beginners guides.


Wot no examples of group names.

Pulling up groups how? What software, what newsprovider?

Then ask the support service for the Unsenet server you are connecting
to?

Congratulations on using Xnews. Most newbies use Outlook Express just
because it was in front of them and they don't know any better yet.
