I posted news saying that $ grep -v " n" .newsrc would print .newsrc with extraneous net.jokes net.general: 1 lines removed. It has been pointed out that if you have an options line which specifies newsgroups: options -n net.all !net.jokes then the grep -v would delete that options line. My options -n all !foo !bar caused me not to see this problem, so make it: $ grep -v "net.jokes net.general: 1" .newsrc Andy Tannenbaum Bell Labs Whippany, NJ (201) 386-6491
