Table of Contentsnewsetup - a program to set up a .newsrc file newsetup 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 ``a pattern'' command in trn (such as ``a linux''). If you already have a .newsrc, it will be backed up with the name ``.newsrc-old''. - DOTDIR

Default: $HOME
