NEWSETUP(1)              USER COMMANDS                NEWSETUP(1)



NAME
     newsetup   a program to set up a .newsrc file

SYNOPSIS
     newsetup

DESCRIPTION
     The newsetup program creates a new .newsrc  file  containing
     all  of  the  currently  active newsgroups.  It tries to put
     them in a reasonable order, i.e. local  newsgroups  earlier,
     but  you'll  probably want to change the ordering anyway (if
     you use rn) in order to put  interesting  newsgroups  first.
     If you already have a .newsrc, it will be backed up with the
     name ".oldnewsrc".

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/active or a reasonable facsimile
     ${DOTDIR {$HOME $LOGDIR}}/.newsrc
