Thanks.  However, it's not working as I expect.

Let's say I subscribe to a lot of "pictures" groups, and I'm trying to kill 
dirty stuff.  So, taken from my
old xnews score.ini and "converted" (I think) to pan syntax:

[pictures|photo]
Score: =-9999
    Subject: boobs
    Subject: sex
    
However, although Pan says "Scoring Articles", I still see articles that should 
have been killed.  What am
I missing here?

Also, if I edit the score file in BBEdit and then switch back to Pan, how do I 
"reload" the modified score
file without having to quit Pan?

I'm running OS X Panther, Apple's X11 and Pan via Fink, if you're wondering.

Thanks.
