I am trying to improve how I access the Lugnet newsgroups.  I'm not happy
with how I read things now, but I'm not sure if what I want is possible.

I see a couple of additional options, which you may or may not like.

1. Use a different newsreader to access lugnet. There's a lot of other great
  newsreaders for unix. You'll have to configure them to use a file other
  than ~/.newsrc, of course.

2. Or, configure pine to use different newsrc files. Launch pine with

  pine -newsrc-path=~/.newsrc-lugnet

  (I think that's all you need to do; I'm not a regular pine user....)
  You can set up an alias, of course, so you just have to type "lugnet".

That's what I do with slrn - I use it with 4 different news servers.

slrn is great - best newsreader I've ever used.
