I just got a Palm m515 and I want to be able to read Usenet news
groups offline. I don't have a modem or Wi-Fi connection from the palm
so I need to be able to download the newsgroups to my computer and
then transfer them to my palm.  I would like the newsgroup messages in
the same threaded format not text if possible.  Does anyone know of a
program (preferably free) that I can use to accomplish this.  I have a
Macintosh Power PC computer running Mac OS X and Mac OS 9.
Thanks !

No one knows how to do this? 
I thought it was an easy question.

Hi,
If the newsgroups you are interested in reading on your Palm m515 are
located on
http://groups.google.com/
then you can use iSilo (http://www.isilo.com)
You don't need an Internet connection to use iSilo.  I hope this
answers your question.

As I understand it iSilo is just a text reader.  I really wanted to
get a news reader on my palm and download the news groups via the Mac.
I'm sorry if i wasn't clear enough. I know i could just use any text
reader and transfer the text files over, but even with iSilo i would
lose the links between threads.

Let me know if i'm wrong.
Thanks

hi,
As far iSilo being a text reader is concerned, that's incorrect.  It's
a webpage reader, you can also view images(jpg,gif,png).  You can use
iSIlo for reading newsgroups on http://groups.google.com

Say you wanted to read message from the "Cognitive
Science(sci.cognitive)" newsgroup, you would add
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=sci.cognitive
to your iSilo file

If you have Virtual PC, there are alternatives such  as Yanoff and
NewsRover

If I have not answered your question or helped you, please let me know
so I can withdraw from this question.
Thank you.
