1.4.3 Filtering New Groups mentions an "options" line I can put at the
top of my .newsrc, but only offers an example of how to disable certain
groups that way, and no links to anyplace where I can get more
information about how this line works, what options (e.g. "-n") are
available, and/or what they mean. IMO there should be a link to more
complete documentation, or support for the option should be dropped.

I've now added a sentence that things are as simple as they seem.

Yes.
