Thank you for your consideration. Many people use Google to search the net:

formatting link

this variant, you can search a newsgroup tailored to your area of interest.

The Outlook Express which came with Windows XP has a "Find" button. It's a similar search tool to the above, but when I use it reading rec.gardens, it defaults to search this newsgroup.

Regards.

I feel you are being too cautious.          Despite some comments, you mighthave read, none would have answered if they were really disinterested.  Formany of us this seems to be the only way to achieve an attentive audienceand from some you can surely smell the arthritic lotions!!. We can also passon our real and extensive experience and act as devil's advocate to liventhings up when it quietens..   Many can use the search mechanisms exceptionally well. Myself? I stillneed the handbook to wind the thing up!! Just wish it had a pull start and awooden handle. Just count the number of contributions to some of the most trivialquestions.   Best Wishes   Brian.
