OK, I guess I see the problem: My copy of the "Notesfile reference manual"
is dates 1983, and doesn't have numbered sections!  I guess my version
of notes is quite old (written by same authors, though).  There is 
no mention of a "newsgroups" file, and creating one has no effect, so
it seems my version of notes doesn't handle it.  :-(

I am running Notes 2.7 86/07/03, as supplied (not supported) by
H.P.  (I understand that there is a 2.8 version within H.P. as well...)

I guess this leads to an obvious next question:  is a more recent version
of notes available somewhere?  (And part 2, has it been successfully
run on a HP9000/800-series machine?)
