Better than .newsrc is simply create your own list. Call it .mynewsrc.
'uqwk -n +n +L -N.mynewsrc'. It also works with 'tin -f .mynewsrc'
One idea I use is delete .newsrc. tin will create a new one next time
you run it. Rename it to DOS name and sz. Use a sort program to put it
in alpha order. You now have a handy list of all newsgroups. Makes it
easier to pick out the ones you want for your .mynewsrc list.
One other trap is ISP changing to remote server. Then uqwk needs to
be recompiled and name of server added to the environment. Same if they
have changed the location of news. See what 'uqwk -p' has to say.
