I followed the procedure outlined by MS to start the
newsgroup reader from within OL2003. It worked fine the
first time. The "news" command showed up in the "Go" menu
and actually called up the newsreader.
However, after I closed the newsreader and then later went
back to launch it, the command was again missing from the
"Go" menu. According to online support, I was supposed to
just walk thru the process again but when I did, the "news"
commaned was no longer in the list of available commands
and is still missing from my "Go" menu. >:(

anyone know how to get this back?
any help would be richly appreciated!!

To get the News command back, go back to the Programs tab in Control Panel |
Internet Options and change the default newsreader to Outlook Express. If
OE prompts you to make it your default newsreader the next time you launch
it, clear the "Always perform this check..." box and then click the No
button.

You may need to reset the Menu Bar and/or restart Outlook and/or reboot your
machine in order to complete the process. Not everyone is reporting success
with this method, but try it and see what happens. If all else fails, you
can always create a desktop shortcut to Outlook Express and include the
/outnews switch -- that gives you the same result as accessing the
newsreader via the News command in Outlook.
