Both true statements.  All the newsgroup links on the Metrowerks web site...

        http://www.metrowerks.com/MW/Support/Newsgroups

...are badly formed.  The double slash on "news://"; means the next part
specifies the server, the same syntax as in HTTP.  The slashes should be
removed to specify just the newsgroup name relative to whatever is the
default news server already configured in the user's news client.  Like
this:

        news:codewarrior.palm
