There are two ways:

       1. When slrn prompts for a newsgroup, simply specify a comma
          separated list of newsgroups.  DO NOT USE SPACES!

       2. Edit the Newsgroup header line when editing the message.  Again,
          the list of newsgroups must be comma separated with no whitespace.
          Also make sure that you do not wrap this line.

    Helpful hint:

       If you forget the name of a newsgroup while inside the editor,
       suspend the editor with Ctrl-Z and use more/less/most to view your
       .newsrc file.  If your editor is sophisticated enough, you can really
       simplify this process by using the `editor_command' keyword in your
       .slrnrc file.  For example, if you use jed as your editor, you can
       set your editor command to something like:

          editor_command "jed ~/.jnewsrc -2 %s -g %d"

       This says to load the file ~/.jnewsrc into the editor, split the
       window, then load the file that slrn wants to edit in one of the
       windows and then goto a specified line number.
