Subject: reading precisely one news group in pine

I would like to use to invoke pine for the sole purpose of reading/posting
to precisely one newsgroup (in any one invocation); upon starting up pine I
want to go direct to the newsgroup list, avoiding ALL the normal
intervening menus. (For example "nn comp.mail.pine" will do this via the
reader nn.)  How is this done with pine (v3.91)?  

The command "pine -f comp.mail.pine" does not work, cause it then tries to
read comp.mail.pine as a mail folder which it is not.

                                   Tony

If your news is on an NNTP server, use
