- The grnrc file is binary. I know of no way of editing it without firing
- up Grn and loading in all the new news. If there is another way, please
- tell.

-
- Right. But I really do want to subscribe to new groups from time to time.
- Then it's a problem. I am reading from a remote server but Grn insists on
- loading my local active file. My local active file doesn't have anywhere
- near as many groups as the remote server has. If it did, I wouldn't be
- trying to read remote.
