X VERSION, RELEASE, and PATCH LEVEL:
    

CLIENT MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:
    sun4, w20-575-15, you know the operating system...

NEWS SYSTEM and VERSION:
       XRN version 6.18beta3

SYNOPSIS/DESCRIPTION:
     I don't know if I would exactly call it a problem...
     I tried to subscribe to newsgroup alt.unix.wizards
     I get the message that it doesn't exist...
     But a moderator of comp.unix.wizards told me to subscribe to it...
     OK, maybe it doesn't exist.
     If it doesn't, then I think I should at least be able to create it.
     I do not see a way to do this on xrn.
     Can you please implement it ?
     If I'm mistaken and there is a way for me to create a newsgroup, then
       sorry, i didn't see it.

FIX:
     Prefer: Implement way for users of xrn to start newsgroups.
     Otherwise: tell me how to start my own group.
