 Well. thats because Pine __supports__ only ONE newsrc file. A lo t of
other newsreaders out there support a per-NNTP-server newsrc file so
that you can have  adifferent newsrc file for each NNTP server
that you use..
 Oh well.. here is to hoping that NNTP is standardised soon and
the good folks over at CAC,Washington  implement all the wonderful
Newsreading 'features' already found in many newsreaders out
there..
