Using pine3.91 on SunOS4.1.3

Please can anyone tell me what should be in the active file for 
local newsgroups. Is it a list of newsgroup pathnames and if so
should it be the full path or relative to news-spool-directory.
I know how to tell pine where to look for the active file, it's what it
actually is I can't find any instructions for. I can't get local news
to work.
