How do I go about creating a news group reader.  I'm not looking for someone to write the program for me.  Just what controls do I use and how do I open a connection to the server and retrieve the message Headers and Bodies.

Can you please show me some code sample.  For Example a procedure
ConnectToNews, and GetHeader and GetBody.

you have to getfamiliar with winsock calls if you plan to
create your own interface. After connecting to socket with calls to winsock the code is exactly what i explained. i.e.
dim retval ass integer
' call to winsock
retval=myconnectprocedure
ifretval=connected then
command="Get etc."
'
send(command)
if you plan to use news or any other ocx the ocx does make the job for you.
