Hello,

Sorry for the OT question, but I would like to access both news.povray.org 
and my ISP's news server with Forte Agent, and it seems I can't do that. (I 
checked the FA help but it still doesn't work.)

And I promise I will not post any OT messages from now on.

  Open Windows Explorer (File Manager). Copy Agent.exe (not *move*) to a
new folder, named appropriately (example: "pov").

  Open Agent from the .exe in the new folder. It will ask for
registration number.

  You will also be asked to configure Agent for connection or news
server information.

  From File Manager, right-click and create a shortcut of Agent.exe.
Launch the shortcut and make certain it opens the new instance of Agent.

  Delete the copy of Agent.exe in the newly created folder.

  Right-click on the shortcut, open Properties, modify Target to specify
Agent.exe in parent folder. Verify that the Start-In directory is the
new "pov" folder.

  Open new instance of Agent using shortcut in new folder and an older
instance of Agent so configuration options can be compared and copied.

  From Windows Explorer, highlight shortcut and press CTRL+X. Minimize
PowerDesk and paste shortcut on Desktop. Rename as desired.

  Test shortcut to see if new instance of Agent will open.
