I'm using astraweb, Vista OS.  I don't want to search, I want to browse different newsgroups.
After I connect I click "newsgroups" and what is displayed is the newsgroups but not by name;
just a numerical list of articles in each group and a yes/no if posting is allowed.
but there's no newsgroup names, just the number of articles of each group.

I'd love to be able to use this program, if someone can help me I'd appreciate it.

I have a few other questions or issues, but I'd like to get this ironed out first..

Thanks.

For now there is no header fetching function, so ignore newsgroup & xpat tab.
You can browse groups via one of the search tabs.
