I'm using Grid Script v.2 and loving it. Sorry, I missed the posting of
2.1 (I'm still having some problems with several newsgroups). Are older
postings indexed somehow so that they can be retrieved? Otherwise I
would appreciate a link or reposting with the list of changes.

Thank you.

I'm not sure what you mean by "indexed somehow". In a half-way
decent newsreader you can search messages. If the messages are
on Corel's server you should be able to search things like the
subject, date and sender. If you've downloaded the messages to
your computer you should be able to search the message bodies
for specific words or phrases as well. The Corel servers retain
posts for about one year so you should have access to all those.
I can't tell whether your problem is that you've not given
yourself access to all these posts, or that you don't know how
to search, or something else. I see you are using Thunderbird
2.0.0.6 but I'm not familiar enough with it to tell you how to
perform the activities I've described. I'll leave BWPanda to
decide what he wants to do with his script and whether he wants
a version 2.2.

Thank you for the quick reply. I never realized that the Search function
in the newsreader can do that. I assumed that a search only applied to
items within the current postings. I did as you suggested and the item
came right up. That worked very well.

I've learned a lot from these newsgroups and from your postings in
particular. (No intent to slight all the other great teachers on these
NG's). It is most appreciated. In particular, since I am somewhat of a
novice, let me apologize in advance for some of the "basic" questions I
may ask. Thank you once again.

There's no need to apologize. None of us was born knowing the
various things that get discussed here. The only thing you need
to concern yourself with is to ask questions with enough
specificity and ancillary information to permit people to give
you a useful answer that is right on point. That's not always
easy but giving the exact names of PSP tools and filters, the
exact sequence of steps used, and the information found in
Image > Image Information is normally a good start.
