Subject: Processing newsgroups while in Pine?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before.  We have been noticing that
when people post a news article with Pine that in order to read that
news article, or any new article that is posted during that time, that 
they need to exit Pine, wait a couple minutes for the new articles to
be indexed, and then re-enter Pine. Then, their posting will appear
in the newsgroup after they re-enter Pine and go into the group.

Is there any configuration option in Pine to allow it to do background
processing of newsgroups so that any new news articles that are posted
in a particular group while a person is reading news in pine those new
articles will appear in their index?  Does Pine handle doing on-the-fly
indexing of newsgroups?

Any help would be most appreciative.

thanks

Joe Karam
