I would have done it already except I am so busy and its sooo easy to become su and change the active file. Another feature that should be put in readnews is a way to have several "labeled" options lines in the .newsrc. That way I can type "readnews" to get the important newsgroups, "readnews -o work" to get the newsgroups that are related to my work, and then (when I am not busy), "readnews -o trash" to get everything else that might be interesting. Don't bother to flame about how I could do this with command files, the alias mechanism in csh, or whatever your favorite hack is - I know all about them. The reason for adding this to readnews is to keep all the lists together in .newsrc rather than scattering them around my area. B.J. decvax!yale-comix!herbison-bj Herbison-BJ@Yale
