Default How refine OE~ MSNG setup

Dear MVP's;

[1] I've just switched from web to OE 6 interface for access to MSNG. The
web used to take me to "Win98 General Discussion", and I would like to
confirm that "Win98.display.general" is the equivalent on OE, or get
redirected.

[2]On the "Newsgroup Subscription" page of OE, there is a list of available
newsgroups, but it presents abbreviations which don't suffice. There is a
check box which suggests "Descriptions" are available which I checked. I was
alerted that the download of Descriptions was made but no additional info
appeared. This info would be useful to me.

[3]I have not discovered how to access pages previous to the current one,
assuming OE lends itself to this option as does the web.

I have read B. Kenny "How to Configure Outlook Express for Internet News"
FAQ's, Problems & Tips but haven't found the answers to these Q's.

Regards,
rooster

[1] Why not go to the same group?
Microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion is still
microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion
Microsoft.public.win98.display.general is not the equivalent.

You might try the OE newsgroup for more detail on [2] and [3]
OE6 newsgroups.
