Getting the Newgroup List

1. Select "Netscape News" from the "Window" menu within Netscape.

2. By default you will be subscribed to 3 newsgroups (news.announce.newusers, news.newsusers.questions and news.answers). Note that groups to which you are subscribed are marked with a yellow checkmark. Removing this checkmark unsubscribes you from the group.

3. Select "Show All Newsgroups" from the "Options" menu to get the complete list of news groups from our server. Note that this may take a few minutes as there are currently over 25,000 groups on the server.

4. Once this has been done, select "Show All Newsgroups" from the "Options" menu again to see the complete list of groups.
