Hello, I am new to Pine. I didn't figure out how to read the newsgroups
  on Pine...I have .newsrc and a NNTP setup on an Amiga, but when I open
  I can't get the newsgroups listing or anything...in fact I am reading
  newsgroups from AmigaMosaic....Stan

Stan, you need to put the NNTP setup in the PINE Config file.  At the 
Main Menu, hit S for Setup and C for Config.  Then put the name of your 
news server where it says NNTP-Server.  (If you don't know what it is, 
ask your system administrator.)  And while you're in the config file, you 
might as well make and X where it says "enable expanded view of 
folders" and "enable aggregate commands," both of which will save you time 
when you use Pine as a newsreader.

I just got my setup right.  Try putting an X in the block.

      [X]  news-approximates-new-status      
      [X]  news-post-without-validation      
      [X]  news-read-in-newsrc-order

Good luck.  

BTW, what kind of Amiga are you on and where can I get a copy of AmigaMosaic?
