Exactly.  Thanks.

As for subscribing, note that pan uses the standard newsrc format.  If you
wish, you can either do it manually by adding/editing the appropriate lines
to newsrc, or do it in another reader that exports newsrc and then replace
pan's newsrc with the one you exported.  It's not perfect, but as Travis
pointed out, subscribing you only do once anyway, and if you already have
a list of groups you want to subscribe to, if that list is huge enough, it
could save you some time.
