Hi,
 
        sorry about all of the posts, but I just found out what happened.  When
I'm reading news and type exit from inside a newsgroup, I get all of the groups
when I start the next session of news.  However, when I'm in the layer <?> with
just the alphabetic listings and type exit, I will get only my registered
groups on next session.
        It appears (maybe) that the newrsc file isn't being saved, so it
defaults to everything??
