Ummm....actually I do have a little coding experience myself although it 
wasn't my main job for most of my long career in IT.

Still struggling conceptually because if I move between groups I have to 
sort again each time I come back to the group - three mouse clicks each 
time to get back to where I was.

It may be through long association but I find the behaviour of the OE 
newsreader in this particular scenario much easier to use and more stable 
as I move between different NGs.

Anyway I now know a way to get round what was the main downside of Pan for 
me and can focus on the good bits.
