[news.admin] Reading news without 'rn' or 'vn'.

ssave@caen.engin.umich.edu (Shailendra Anant Save) (10/02/90)

  I want to read the news without using the 'rn' or 'vn'
commands from the command line.  I want to use the 'at' 
command to read the news at say 3:00 am and cat everything 
from the group into a file, and then update the .newsrc file 
so that the next day the same articles are not read again.  
I am not a very good script writer/ system programmer and 
would appreciate any help in doing this. I would presumably
have to interact with the NNTP server. How do I do that?
