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
