Perhaps you have a different notesfile system.  We are using the notes system
from Univ of Illinois written by Essick and Kolstad.  The newsgroups file is
/usr/spool/notes/.utilities/newsgroups (on a standard installation) and is
documented in the "Notesfile Reference Manual" (rev 20Oct85) in section B.3.3.

Natural assumption but incorrect in this case.  For USENET news we have a 
use regular news software and I use "rn" (as I am with this article).  Notesfiles
are for local (internal) use only.
