Thanks in advance. Usually, if a message is posted to both groups at the same time, this will happen. I didn't do this though. I followed up to the message in mu.mcis.question and then crossposted it afterward. Therefore, no link was created between the 2 messages. If I had instead issued the FOLLOWUP/NEWSGROUP command and then added the other newsgroup, then a link would have been created between the 2 messages. I purposely didn't do this, though, because I didn't want followups to the message in mu.vms to be reflected back into mu.mcis.questions. -- Kent Covert, Software Coordinator Miami Computing and Information Services Miami University, Oxford, OH [log in to unmask] (internet) kacovert@miavx1 (bitnet)
