Thanks
Jim,
Yes, I'd thought about System.getevn, but I was expecting to find a way to let the OS do whatever OS-specific translation was appropriate in the directory path on file creation. It's looking like that doesn't fly - maybe a shell is required to get env var translation . . . Well, I switched to using System.getenv to get the env var value and appending the rest of the directory path and that works. Thanks for taking the time to help out,

snnewgroup
snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8) System Manager's Manual snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8)
NAME
snnewgroup - create a new sn newsgroup
SYNOPSIS
snnewgroup newsgroup [server] [port]
DESCRIPTION
snnewgroup creates newsgroup assigning it an upstream NNTP server of server:port. If port is not specified, defaults to 119. If server is
also not specified, newsgroup is created as a local group which is fed only by articles POSTed to it.
You will need to be root or own /var/spool/sn in order to add new groups.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
SNROOT If this is set and is not empty, the value is used in place of /var/spool/sn, the default news spool directory.
FILES CREATED
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup
Directory where articles will be stored.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.created
Empty file for the newsgroup creation time.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.serial
Where snget gets its idea of the new starting serial number for newsgroup on server server:port. The value is initialized to 0.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing
If server is specified, is a symlink to /var/spool/sn/.outgoing/server:port, which is a directory, created if it does not already
exist. If server is not specified, no file /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing will be created. See also snsend.
