What I generally do is use the dwrite command from a Unix shell program and  
launch NewsGrazer that way -- so I have a number of "launchers" which set the  
default and then run NewsGrazer -- in fact, it is perfectly possible to have a  
number of grazers set up to different sites..

A simple shell would just be something like:
#!/bin/csh -f
/usr/bin/dwrite NewsGrazer NewsGrazerNNTPServer blah.blah.edu
/LocalApps/NewsGrazer.app/NewsGrazer
/usr/bin/dwrite NewsGrazer NewsGrazerNNTPServer return.to.original.setting.edu
