Greetings. After spending much happy time using rn, I have now been put on a machine using nn and lo and behold, things just don't work the same. Couple of questions: How do I search for a new newsgroup using only a keyword and then have it added to my .newsrc? In rn, you just use the 'l' (for look) command and it gives you a list. You can then 'g'o to whichever one you want. The closest I've found on nn is -mxX -sSubject all. This just merges all newsgroups with given subject into one, let's me read them and then doesn't add them to my .newsrc. What's worse, it doesn't even tell me what groups I'm looking at! This is very frustrating. Also, how do I tell nn _not_ to search for new newsgroups every time I invoke it? I've gone through an nn manual, but it hasn't seemed to help. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. -- Noel Estabrook | Knowledge without action is like nestabro@nova.gmi.edu --|-- snow on a hot stove.
