I am currently trying to setup my version of Unix Pine 3.89 so I cam use
it as a newsreader instead of tin. I have edited the appropriate section
in my .pinerc file to make it possible to read the said newsgroups but I
can't figure out a way of getting them to post. I notice the incoming
posts have a 'Newsgroups:' header. I do not have one of these. Do I need
one? If so how do I add one if it's possible. I would be most grateful for
help on this as it annoys me I have to run tin and pine at the moment.

Ben, try typing ctrl r. You will get a rich hdr screen with the newsgroup
spot in the header.

I tried that already but it appears that it isn't present in my version 
of pine.

Ben i think you need pine 3.9 or above.

    Don't bet the farm on my recollections, but I think some of the 
goodies for at least _posting_ to newsgroups came into Pine in version 
3.90 or 3.91.  V. 3.89 may not have had them.  In any case, when you try 
the Ctrl-R as was suggested, make sure the cursor is in the header area 
first.  (In 3.91, at least, Ctrl-R does different things in the header 
and the body.)
