Hello!
I am fixing to uninstall my Netscape 4.75 completely (and only save my bookmarks and my newsgroup and news settings)
-and then install Netscape 4.79 and hopefully put my news setting and server info into my new 4.79.
Exactly which file should I save for my newsgroup settings? What is the exact name of the file I should save?
I know the bookmarks file name to save but not the news settings info.
I'm a newbie, so please be patient!
Thanks so much for your help!
