Have you subscribed to them?  If so, they should be listed, and once SLRN
starts, reading the current line should yield the first in the list, onto
which you can press enter, that is, of course, after you've unsubbed from
the defaults like alt.test etc.  I normally do an unsub from * before
subscribing to anything.

The other thing, if you don't want to subscribe, then use control cap L to
enter your search pattern, / is for intra-article searching.
