Is there anyway to have a new .newsrc file put a new users directory that
has all of the groups unselected?  Also, if this is possible, how could
they edit the .newsrc file with vi to add whichever and only whichever groups
they desired.  This is the much preferred way than to have to go to 
all 2800 groups and Unsubscribe.  any takers?
