	Glad you are getting the hang of things. Just keep on top of those 
large groups and things will be fine. :)
        
	Pan does not handle BinHex or MacBinary files, at least natively. I 
haven't done it in a while, but you can save the text, and manually 
decode the posts, but I always found that to be a pain in the rear.
	I know a few people in the past have asked for it. Charles and the team 
always welcome patches, and I think a few years back someone might have 
even mentioned taking on the task -- but it never came to anything. (I 
could be hallucinating about this part, tho)

	I always kept a copy of MT-NW or Thoth around on my old G3 if I needed 
to access any Mac groups.
