Another hint: use ResEdit to change its newsgroups file type to TEXT,
use a text editor to edit out all the groups you are never going to
want and use ResEdit to convert its type back again (I don't recall
to what - I trashed it). Otherwise, you wait forever while it checks
through the file for subscribed groups.

I stopped using it because it seemed unreliable and is slow (back
to XRN via Mac X - sigh).
