I am using 45.7.1 so perhaps things have changed. For instance. there is no Tools/Account Settings. It's now Edit/Account Settings. If your news reader doesn't support posting perhaps Thunderbird no longer does. Regardless, I did finally get PAN to compile and that does very clearly prompt for both so I think I'm set. I do appreciate your help.
