Ah, I thought I'd read it somewhere.  I just couldn't find it.  Thank
$DEITY I was right.   :-)

I do that for binaries myself, since I rarely want /everything/ in a
binaries group.

leafnode, too.   :-)

With better knowledge of Linux in general, I've decided to re-install,
from scratch.  I've invested in an external HD to save /home to, so I
can re-instate all required prefs files (I *don't* want to have to
recreate a few dozen email & news filters, killfiles, score files, etc.

I'm not desperate for anything that's currently on the to-do list for
Pan.  The wait won't kill me.  In fact, I'm grateful that there are
people out there than care enough to code such excellent software,
because I'm a complete duffer at writing code.

I mean, I had trouble with BASIC.   :-(
