Yep, editting newsrc-xxx seems to be, after a little playing around, the
only way to do it. That falls apart if pan ever decides to update the
group list (or far more likely :-), I forget that I editted the file and
tell pan to update the group list.
It would be nice (and I'll file a bug report to this effect) to have a
formal, supported method for telling pan to do what my original post
suggested.
