First, you'll have to talk to your ISP to determine what News server you
should use (it'll be the same one you're using for Tin).  Once you know
what it is, go into Setup/Config and select nntp-server.  Then type in the
name of the server (whatever.foo.bar - again, ask your ISP).

This should also set news-collections automatically.  In this case, it
would be *{whatever.foo.bar/nttp}[].  If you can, get together with your
ISP to set this since you just began using Pine.  Hope this helps!
