[G4] Mac "MT Newswatcher" error msg.

[Thomas J. Fobia]

Thanks Doug, I tried using netscaper (subscribing to 
news://news.stj.com) and also MT NewsWatcher (entering both as 
"news://news.stj.com" and just as "news.stj.com". Both netscape and my 
MT give me an error:  "A news (NNTP) error occured: Permission Denied- 
Road Runner Usenet Service - - Unauthorized hist (Twister v2.0.5.233).  
Very Mysterious and criptic. Its got to be my Road Runner  provider 
(Time Warner) thats at fault. Thanks for you help anyway. I hope this 
clears up on its own soon!

Tom
