Yes, God bless lynx! Whenever ppl talk about ad filtering,
I pat myself on the back for using lynx when I'm simply
out for content. One nice trick I've found is that when I
first bring up Netscape in the morning, I also bring up a
blank window in the composer. While I go through the various
sites that I check for news and so on each morning, when
I see an article that I want to read, I just drag the
link into the composer window. When I'm done, I save that
to an html file, which I read via lynx at my leisure.

Midway through this session on Grex, picospan started showing me all the items
I'd forgotten - and also all retired items - as new and active. Right under
the item name, and the name and date of the person who entered it, it shows
a little sign saying "<retired item>" or "<forgotten item>".

After posting that item, I began to notice the problem on other sites as well.
Closing and re-starting Netscape seems to have cleared it up for now.

Re 101: Assuming you are using Picospan, it sounds like "set noforget"
somehow got set.
I've installed a few small Backtalk fixes - mostly response previewing
should work a little better, not trying to dispaly HTML versions in
conferences where HTML is turned off.

Re:#102: Netscape for Linux is up to 4.6 at last check, if the older
version is getting odd you can try updating.

From party user "br", I have a report that "talk" is broken.
I played a bit with it myself. If one does "talk grexuser,"
it seems to hang after the message "checking for invitation on machine"
or something like that.

Instead of complaining about it, erase all your files!

Unless it's /tmp that's full. Then erasing your own files wouldn't help
at all.

(the mathom program seems to be having problems. the first two times
[today] that I tried to use it to look at my mathom, it gave me a core
dump. both times, I was trying it by a shell escape from the "more"
pager. the third time, I tried at an "Ok:" prompt and discovered that
none of the people I checked had mathom, including me.)

(That may not have survived the move to the current hardware...! Probably
have to mail Valerie, since I don't think she has time for Agora any more.)

The mathom got wiped out and needs to be restored from backup.

About 10:00 this morning I was trying to paste some text into
an open pico file in my directory and Grex hung. It was pasting
very s-l-o-w-l-y before it hung. The materials were supposed
to go to the ACLU for the suit. I managed successfully to paste
the stuff into an M-Net pico file, so I assume the trouble was
on Grex. Any ideas?

Re #116: Yeah, I've found that pasting a big wad of text into Pico is
sometimes very slow, and I can speed things up by pasting a chunk at a time.
(It's a pain, though, so if I have more than a couple of paragraphs I upload
the file and then ^R it.)

(If you do that, make sure you save the file as a plain text file. Reading
a word-processor file into pico is not likely to give good results. (I know
Mark knows this, but some trying to follow his advice won't.))

What 'suit'? Is there an ACLU based 'suit' that I am unaware of being
merely a 'guest'? Is there some dark secret that ought to be known by
all 'grexers' that I for one am unaware of? Am I an 'ex-parti' subject
with out being properly informed of it?
