Our rn seems to insist on putting a file called ..newsrc in
one's $HOME. Take it out, and rn puts it right back again. It looks
just like .newsrc. Who knows what this file is for (if anything) and
how to get rid of it if it is the result of a bug?
-Thanks

This is a backup copy of .newsrc maintained by rn and maybe your news administrator decided to name it ..newsrc (since the name of the backup file can be set by changing a #define in common.h). -- Eduardo Krell UCLA Computer Science Department ekrell@ucla-locus.arpa ..!{sdcrdcf,ihnp4,trwspp,ucbvax}!ucla-cs!ekrell
