This requires some environment variable tweaking in the memorized commands
for the group:

&-ESAVEDIR=%p/custom_dir
X&-ESAVEDIR=%p

The first line is executed on entry to the group, setting the default
save directory to ~/News/custom_dir.  The second line is executed on
group exit and sets the save directory back to ~/News.
