Subject: Configuring Pine 3.89 As A News Reader

I am trying to use Pine 3.89 as a news reader with limited 
success. I defined the nntp-server and news-collections 
variables in .pinerc. I created .newsrc with entries for each 
news group I am interested in. Each news group now shows up in 
my folder list and is accessible. My problem is when I specify 
e(X)punge, I receive the message:

   "[eXclude of deleted news not implemented yet.]"

This leads me to believe that I have either missed something in 
pinerc or 3.89 was still not ready for primetime.

Similarly, I am unable to access the list of all newsgroups 
using the (A)dd command. I receive the error:

   "[News subscribe and selection screen not ready yet!]"

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Pine 3.89 did not have full News support.  In particular you could not
post from it.  Please try the current Pine 3.91 release...
