I am attempting to rearrange the filesystems on our system (going to
add an additional drive to the system).  I am going to create the new
drive with the /u filesystem.  What I would like to do, is to move 
all the /usr/spool/news/*  files (UUNET, etc.) to /u/spool/news/*
area for simplicity sake.  We have the SCO compiled distribution for
UUNET connection and using rn for a reader.  Can we change a configuration
file somewhere to notify where the mail will be sent?  The documentation
is very poor in this area, and we cannot find anything appropriate.
We do not have a development system loaded at this time (will be loading
after the new filesystem is up and running, (need the space)).
Any assistance would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
