Is there are command or does someone have a routine for "catching up" on all
subscribed newsgroups at once. I read news on two different machines - when
one is down, I use the other. It would be nice to instantly catch up on the
backup machine after having read the news on the primary machine.

I assume it is 'rn', and I can't help you there. But 'nn' will do that all basically automatically [I think "nn -a0" will do the job]. You should check out nn... it is really a VERY nice newsreader. It lured me away from rn about a month or two back and i haven't looked back since... /Bernie\

If they are both served by the same NNTP server and have equivalent nntp_access rights, you can copy the .newsrc et al. files around. Otherwise there's a nasty time window; you'll potentially catch up on articles you should have seen. -=EPS=-
