snownews-and-Related?

[Jude DaShiell]

First find the url you think is the rss feed or xml feed and get the 
cursor on it then hit the "=" sign in lynx.  Look to where it says url: 
and then check the ending of the next line.  If it's xml or rss, then you 
have a feed.  Copy that feed and save it in a separate file then close 
lynx and open up snownews and hit the a command then paste that url in. 
Then try to open the url and see what happens.On Fri, 11 Apr 2008, Lee
