	I used mcvert to convert my file to binary.
	Then capit to (I guess) convert it to mac.

	Then I got cpt-expand-10.hqx.  Brought it onto the mac
	and tried to run it on my news.

	The menu that came up would not allow selection of
	the news because it was of type "document", and it would
	only accept (highlight) entries of "folder".


	Still no-go.
