Not surprised, since the directories are named numerically and not 
according to the folder name. They are in <NewsDir$Dir>.MsgServe.Spool

<NewsDir$Dir>.Groups tells you whihc directory belongs to which group 
- this is the last field on the line, wigh prefix G, G1 being 
Spool.0.0.1 and you can have 77 subdirectories (named 0 to 76) in each 
directory (for pre-RISC OS 4 compatibility).

Within each bottom level directory the Group file will echo the name 
of the group. It's plain text although typed as data.

If you wish to check your groups for consistency with the Groups file 
download http://www.richardporter.me.uk/riscos/gcheck.zip and read the 
ReadMe file.

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
