Ahh... I noticed that option a while back, and was confused by it.  
In regards to interface, I think I'd prefer it if there was a button or 
something saying "Import group list from file".
What is a little unclear about that system is knowing whether when you check 
that box, it's going to choose to have the .newsrc override the data from 
~/.knews or vice-versa. 

Anyways, I suppose I can live with that for now.
Now what pan needs added next is "LIST ACTIVE" support, so it can find groups 
that are not in the local list, but are on the server.
Maybe I'll have to do that.
