Subject: Folders: Select here to expand

Two problems with Pine folders:
1. I would like to look at my files on our remote server.
There is a folder collection below my inbox which says
"Select here to expand" but nothing happens when I hit
"V" for select or when I arrow down to that position and
hit return.  Can I configure Pine so this will be possible?
2. My boss has no news group folder collection on his Pine
L screen (folder screen).  Similarly, it says select here
to expand, but nothing happens.  What does he need to do
to be able to read news groups from Pine?

>From .pinerc:
# incoming-folders are those other than INBOX that receive new messages.
# Folder syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-hostname}folder-path
# Use only if you filter incoming email into multiple files or receive
# email on several different machines.
# Example:
# incoming-folders=Consulting       {carson.u.washington.edu}filter/to-help,
#                  Widget-Project   {carson.u.washington.edu}filter/to-widget,
#                  Old-Student-Acct {imap.berkeley.edu}inbox
incoming-folders=

>From .pinerc:
# news-collections specifies one or more collections of news groups.
# News collection syntax: optnl-label *{news-host/protocol}[]
# Examples:
# news-collections=News *[]   <-- if your login host carries news
# news-collections=Subscribed-Groups *{news.u.washington.edu/nntp}[]
news-collections=Subscribed-Groups *{}[]
