You must add newsgroups manually. When you have opened the collection, 
simply press "A" and enter the name of the newsgroup that you want to add. 
Pine will go through the problem of downloading the full list of 
newsgroups, and check if the newsgroup that you want to subscribe is in 
that list, if so, you are subscribed and a folder with the name of the 
newsgroup will appear.

You can add several newsgroups at the same time if after you press "A" you 
press ^T (see the menu in the bottom for more options at any time)

I hope this helps.
