For example, you wish to participate misc.consumers, a newsgroup
for discussing product reviews and consumer interests. A separate window
similar to the one below will be opened when you click on the link.
Note that you are now attached to the CTSC News Server with a single
Usenet newsgroup called misc.consumers (1). To read a particular
message, just click on one of the message subjects listed in the top
right-hand window (2), such as in this example, Lloyd Parker’s reply
to the subject Re: Consumer Reports and Chrysler Quality (3).
What if you want to participate another newsgroup, such as hk.biz.general, a discussion group on various business issues specifically for Hong Kong users?
The quickest way is to add a newsgroup from the existing news server (in our example, HKBU’s CTSC News Server) by opening the File menu and choose Add Newsgroup under Netscape News.
You will then see a dialog box similar to the following one. To add a newsgroup, just type its full name. You should make sure that the spelling is correct, and all periods (.) are included, such as in this case:
You should now see something like the following screen, with an additional
newsgroup called hk.biz.general.
