The default path for news URLs is '*', which means a linked
list of newsgroups available from your nntp server, obtained by a
LIST NEWSGROUPS nntp command to it. If your list does not correspond
to your nntp server's news groups, that's surprising, because it's
what your server reported to Lynx. Note that the list may not be
complete, because your server may report only groups which it handles
directly, or may put bounds on the length of it's reply. If there
is a "news.group" you know your server carries, and you want a linked
listing of currently available articles in that group, make the URL
news:news.group
Also read "Supported URLs" in the Lynx online 'h'elp.
