   Oh man, thats hacks and more hacks ...   
      
   Yes, it could be done that way.  No, there is not a single hair on my head   
   which would think of creating such a "solution". Sorry.   
      
      
   Luckily I have some finished pstore code, as well as most of the registry   
   account-retrieval code.   A bit more work tomorrow and I will have a nice   
   function which I can feed a newsgroup-servers name and get its username and   
   password back.
