I have no idea where this came from, since the original word was "define"!!
(I'll blame a noisy line when I wrote the note! :-)

*What* "newsgroups" file???   I can't find any reference to notes using
a file called "newsgroups".  (Only the "Active" file is mentioned...)
This sounds like the solution I've been looking for, but I need a bit
more information on how to use it!  I may be missing something obvious
here -- please enlighten me if I am!

On an unrelated matter (sort of :-), I am curious as to how you produced
the response header above ("In article..." etc. and the ">" bracketing) --
I am assuming that you responded using "notes", of course.

For reference, I am running Notes 2.7 (86/07/03).
