After you entered the dns name for the news server, you would be prompted to enter a human-readable alias for the news server.
I suggestion by default, strip leading "news." and trailing ".org" or ".com" or whatever big domain class. As for example, nntp name -> account name news.hkcpug.org -> hkpcug msnews.microsoft.com -> microsoft news.linux.nf -> linux.nf A little bit of convinience for users. Aslo less confusion when users switch from previous screen to this screen. Not too much programming needed I believe.
