Well......it took a while and it was a chance remark on the
Eternal-September support ng, but I have finally figured it out.......and
sorted it out.


I had this OE set up for so long that I forgot it was "Sync All" that I
had
on the Toolbar (upper bar)......and used that to download everything at
once. I had customized it a looonnngggg time ago.


Aha! ; )

Probably what she wants is Ctrl-Shift-M (Synchronize All.)

And in order to make use of that you also have to set
your newsgroups' synchronization criterion to something other than
Don't Synchronize (the default.) So I suspect you also have all your
newsgroups set with (at least): Synchronization Settings: Headers Only?

LOL!! I totally missed that explanation. But mine is set for "new messages
only". I shall try your method. A woman? on the E-S group uses
Tools/Synchronize All. That is what clued me in......sigh. And now PA Bear
will do a few blonde jokes.....it is to be expected, grin.

Thanks Robert.......Figgs
