  Now that you've clarified the question, you can do it in rn, although
it takes a bit of diddling. Unmark the newsgroups field with 
"& +hnewsgroups" and then you can use "/alt.barf/hj" to zap the groups
you don't want. I assume that you can get this into the KILL and .rninit
files although I only tried it interractively.
