Since my ISP seems to have no interest in helping solve my newsgroup access problems, I am using dejanews. Is there anyone in the group that can answer a question for me? Is it possible to make a list of the groups I want to "subscribe" to, so that I do not need to type in all those names to read several groups, or wend my way through the long index selection process? In a normal newsreader, there is a list of subscribed groups shown as a sort of file folder directory. Something like that would sure be handy for DejaNews.

Goto and subscribe to their free news server.
You have to use a valid e-mail address to register, but they don't use it to spam you, in fact, I can't recall ever getting a subsequent message from them (checks files) only two messages, acknowledgement and confirmation.
They don't carry binary groups, however, if that is important to you.

Hi Don, The long way.
However, you can add the starting page of each group you want as a bookmark (nutscape) or to your favorites (iExplorer), in a folder/file structure making the next visit easier.
Ah, thats right, I am in my browser! Over ten years of using Usenet has ingrained habits. That is a good way to do it.
BTW, I never have accessed the .bin groups- I don't have the proper unzipping software anyway.
