I read in the HELP file that you can have different .newsrc groups for  
different NNTP sites.  Is there an easier way to specify what NNTP site  
you want to use?  Right now, I go into the Preferences, select the server,  
then have to quit Newsgrazer, and start it again.  Is there something  
simple I am missing?  Thanks very much for your time.

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
