Doesn't seem to work in Agent, either. All I see for choices are

I spent an hour trying to get it to work in Agent, no joy :-(

Oops. Sorry guys. I don't use a PC and it didn't occur to me that a
basic selector like a newsgroup name wouldn't be available in your
reader's killfile setup. On the bright side, it means you'll never have
to learn how to do regex... (I'd drop the Agent people a line and ask
them to drop it in their next release. It's not exactly difficult to
implement.)

Having never done it, but being an avid user of Agent, I did what few
of us seldom think of....I looked in "Help".

It's explained there, but it will take a bit of geekery to understand
the syntax of the expressions. Start by going to the Window menu and
choosing Usenet filters. Then select "new filter" and behold, you'll
get the chance to build your own custom filters, not limited to author
or subject kill-filing.
