I have solved a lot of these customization problems by running
my own shell script wrapper for fetch rather than fetch itself.
If you wanted to use that approach, you could do something like
this:
cd /var/spool/news/leafnode
mv interesting-groups interesting-groups.bak
grep '^comp.lang' interesting-groups.bak >interesting-groups
fetchnews
This will eliminate all non comp.lang entries from the list of
newsgroups before fetch is called.
(I'm on my windows box, apologies for errors in the filenames, etc).
Hope this helps,
Mark.
