I have a question about rn that I havent been able to figure out so far. Is it possible to completely disable the pager in rn? We have several users here that call in on dialup lines and capture everything on their PC's to read later. I have put in a switch for readnews that sets the PAGER environment variable to 'cat' if they so desire. I have not been able to make anything like this work with rn, even with the PAGESTOP variable. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Email replies, and if there is enough interest I will summarize. Chris BTW I did RTFM. -- \ / C r o s s r o a d s C o m m u n i c a t i o n s /\ (602) 941-2005 300|1200 Baud 24 hrs/day / \ hplabs!hp-sdd!crash!xroads!coffin

RTFM :-) unix% readnews -p -n NEWSGROUPS will spit all articles in the selected newsgroup pattern to stdout without pausing. --
