It's a long time since I set up MPro, but from what I remember you 
just add the newsgroups from the Choices > Group management window, 
where you click on Add newsgroup. Again from  memory, the app takes 
care of the folders, so I have folders called comp.sys.acorn, alt and 
mozilla, all containing the various relevant groups.

All e&oe, of course; "Old men forget" :-(

With best wishes,
