Your subscription list is determined by both your .newsrc file and
your seq file (*).  Your .newsrc keeps track of what newsgroups
you're subscribed to and what articles you've read in those
newsgroups.  Your seq file tells nn:
 * which collections of newsgroups to merge into a virtual newsgroup
 * the order in which you want to be presented newsgroups
 * the default save folder for each newsgroup


(*) You can specify your sequence in either a separate seq file or as
    the last part of your init file, in a section starting with the
    word `sequence'.  Using the seq file is more in keeping with the
    plug and play strategy, so that's what I describe below.
    NOTE: The seq file is currently not documented in the nn man pages.
