NEWSETUP (1)

a program to set up a .newsrc file

SYNOPSIS

    newsetup

DESCRIPTION

    The newsetup program creates a new .newsrc file containing an list of recommended newsgroups for the first time user. If your news admin has specified such a list (usually in the file NEWSLIB/subscriptions) trn will use that as a default for your .newsrc. Otherwise you get a ridiculously small list that you'll want to add to using the \*(L"a pattern\*(R" command in trn (such as \*(L"a linux\*(R"). If you already have a .newsrc, it will be backed up with the name \*(L".newsrc-old\*(R".

ENVIRONMENT

      Where to put your .newsrc, if not in your home directory. Default: $HOME

      Your home directory. Default: $LOGDIR

      Your home directory if HOME is undefined.

FILES

    /var/lib/news/subscriptions or a reasonable facsimile ${DOTDIR-{$HOME-$LOGDIR}}/.newsrc
