09.01 How can I see which newsgroups are available?

  Also try using '?' when going to a group with the 'G' command.  Note
  that successive '?'s will display more groups when there is not
  enough room to display all choices at once.  Group completion is
  achieved with ' ' (space).

  Finally, the programs "nnsub" or "eep" can be used to easily view
  newsgroup names and descriptions and also to subscribe to groups.
  These programs are in the "contrib" area of the sources in 6.5.0.

  To see a list of all news groups with a short description, use the
  command ":post" and type '?'.  To list groups that match a regular
  expression (ie. pattern), use "/pattern" instead of '?'.
