Comes here Mr. Ed Greshko with this opinion in  "comp.mail.pine"  group in this article on Fri, 9 Dec 1994 16:38:20 GMT:

 +   > The group list is/will be stored in a file called ".newsrc"

 +   	While the method you describe does *show* all the groups on the
 +   screen....it only saves the ones you've subscribed to in the .newsrc file.

Ask the local News Admin. to keep a "full blown" sample newsrc file in
/usr/local/sample. Users can copy that file to a local .newsrc file which
can be edited/viewed/printed/taken home...

	That will work, except in the case where the person asking *is*
the administrator of their own system.

	I suppose the real point is...you can't do with pine what the
original poster was asking.  At least not yet, my understanding is that
it is on the list of things to do.
