I put the above in my .bashrc - worked like a charm

Like you I'm using leafnode to pull in the newsgroups that I want to read
offline. I did download a couple of later releases of slrn that supported
slrnpull, but one wouldn't compile and the other, (a rpm file) wouldn't run.
I'm new to linux, so I decided to take the line of least resistance and
installed leafnode. So far it's been working fine.

Thanks for the help

Steve
