Can't help you here...

I had this one. In my USENET file I had the statement:

DEFAULT /dir=w:\news

This statement had worked fine in plain vanilla Waffle 1.65. Using HellDiver
I could not see any news. So, when all else fails, RTFM (Waffle's, that is).
Although Tom Dell does not seem to explicitly state that the operand of the 
/dir statement *must* be enclosed in double-quotes, the example provided 
shows the operand in double quotes. After changing the statement to:

DEFAULT /dir="w:\news"

Note the enclosing double-quotes; HellDiver found the newsgroups OK.
Maybe you have the same problem I encountered.

Tom, are you watching? Your documentation is excellent. You do have 
an audience that you may not have anticipated: Waffle Add-On software 
developers. For those of us who are making Waffle Add-Ons, could you 
provide BNF specification for all your command languages: STATIC, 
DIRS, NEWSGROUP files, etc...? This would remove all ambiguity when 
we have to design interpreters for your commands.

We all understand BNF. Right? :-)
