At the first page of the New Collection Wizard, you have the news server configuration. Here is where you must enter your newsgroup server information.

The second step is to tell NIC what news groups to search. Click the Add button to view all the newsgroups on the server. After the list has loaded, you can use the find feature to search the group names for keywords. Check the groups you want to search and click Ok. You will now see the selected groups in this screen.

This is the path on your computer where you would like to store the downloaded images. You can type in the path in the directory field or click the browse button to select a directory.

This is where you name the collection you are about to create. You can create as many collections as you like, so it is useful to give this collection a unique name.
