To All you UNIX Gurus, Wouldn't it be nice to have an rn macro which collects all articles with the specified title and dumps them into a file? I could then print the file and read it. Would be much much easy on the eyes. C.P. Ravikumar ............................................................ ``Why is it easy to say paralyze than to say parallelize?'' (Heard in ICPP 1989)

Wouldn't it be nice if people who have simple questions that are answered in available documentation would read said documentation before posting said questions to the net? It seems to me that the command "/title/s filename" will do what you want. If you want to mark the messages read at the same time, I believe that "/title/s filename:j" will do what you want. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out how to assign this to an rn macro, although a hint is that you'll probably want to look at the "&&" command. You'll also probably want to read the man page. If you don't know where it is, ask whomever maintains rn at your site.
