Rick,

Did you instruct your ISP's server to request the latest LIST?

I use WinVN for reading newsgroups and each time I invoke it, 
a message box titled "Request LIST from Server?"  posts the 
following message:   "Request the latest group list from server?"
Then, "This can be time-consuming".  [14,000 newsgroups]

I don't know how server software for the newsgroups operates, but it 
may be possible that your server has not yet updated its lists
of available newsgroups from [majordomo?].   I.E.  your ISP's server
software for news readers doesn't yet know about comp.lang.java.

BTW, as a student I'm sure you've heard of having to "pay your dues...."
You should know that before anyone will hire you for Java programming,
you'll have to host a conference for us older hackers down there in 
Australia.   Thought you might like to be forewarned...

G'day,
