I'd like to see the ability to specify an alternate .newsrc file
parallel to the -f option used in awk, sed and other places.
This would allow me to read work-related stuff on company time
and non-work-related stuff on my own time; this might make readnews
more saleable to managment in companies where management is suspicious
that employees are goofing off on company time.

We're running an old version of news, so I apologize if this feature
(or an alternate way of doing the same thing) is in the `latest'
version. Thanks.
