man trn3-newsetup (Commandes) - a program to set up a .newsrc file
NAME
newsetup - a program to set up a .newsrc file
SYNOPSIS
newsetup
DESCRIPTION
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.
ENVIRONMENT
- DOTDIR
- Where to put your .newsrc, if not in your home directory. Default: $HOME
- HOME
- Your home directory. Default: $LOGDIR
- LOGDIR
- Your home directory if HOME is undefined.
FILES
/usr/lib/news/subscriptions or a reasonable facsimile
${DOTDIR-{$HOME-$LOGDIR}}/.newsrc
