Ok, so I have tried creating a "Story" and when I do I set the link title to "News"

Then I try to make a new story, again with the menu link set as "News"

It just makes another entry in the primary links called "News", instead of putting this new story under the old "News"

How can I create a news page where "News" stories will go, with just one link to it in the primary links?

This is driving me nuts! I have searched the documentation and the forums with no luck. Thanks!!

What the primary link really means is, you can access your page without going two or three level deep in the menu, its like a short cut to your single page. As a link can point to only a single location, every time you create a link "news" for different pages, there will be an entry for each of those page.

I believe that you can make a news page by tagging your stories via taxonomy, and using the views module. Although I haven't played with the module yet, as it's recently out for D6. I'm assuming that the Drupal-supplied front page doesn't do what you want; I use it for my news page.

Thanks to both of you for your fast responses!

I am currently using the front page for news, but I would like to have other pages that work like the front page. "Events" page and the like.

You recommend using the views module?

I was considering trying it, but it seems like there should be a way to do what I would like with the built in modules.

Thanks again!

use taxonomy redirect and your module hook menu and build up your category pages and home page from scratch

I'm not too familiar with D6, but I know in D5 you can create a menu item which links to a certain URL. Then, you can set the correct News page to be accessed through that URL, using aliasing.
