  The variable default-save-file controls how files are named.  By
  default, the value of default-save-file is +$F (components of the
  newsgroup become directories, last component is the file name).
  This isn't a good idea (see also "When saving in +a/b/c keeps you
  from saving in +a/b").  However, most sites change that to +$G (file
  has the same name as the newsgroup) in the system init file.

  You can also set default save files on a per-newsgroup level.  To do
  this, add the default save file to the newsgroup in your sequence
  (in ~/.nn/init).  For example,

	news.software.nn		+nn

  If you don't want to have any default at all, add 

	unset suggest-default-save

  to ~/.nn/init.
