If NEWSBOX isn't set, the default is your current directory. Further, you can use the 's' (save) command and NEWSBOX to do the following: Command Result ------- ---------------------------------------- s saves the article in $NEWSBOX/Article s file saves the article in $NEWSBOX/file s dir/file saves the article in ./dir/file s /dir/dir2/file saves the article in /dir/dir2/file This is the behavior you're used to, but with NEWSBOX implicitly set to $HOME by default.
