I can spent very little time on "my" sun, so I'm looking for a way to save all the articles of different newsgroups automatically in a file so I can transfer it via FTP to an disk an read it at my own computer at home. I use RN to read news. The solution to my problem should save for example the messages in comp.lang.pascal in a file named pascal.txt, all the new news in comp.periphs.printers in a file named printers.txt, ... Is there any way? PMK@CIP-S01.INFORMATIK.RWTH-AACHEN.DE ! Warning! UNIX-Newcomer! Michael Keukert of 2:242/2 (Fido-Net) ! No flames please .... PMK@EIKO.ZER (Zerberus-Net) ! ... I'm still learning.

The following command worked ok for me:
| cat > `basename %c`.txt
which could easily be made into an rn macro.
--Ed
(easily, I mean if you know how to make rn macros, which is beyond

Once in the newsgroup say for example: 100-200:s pascal.txt This will save articles 100 through 200 appended together to the file pascal.txt. For more information, use the h command in rn (RTFM). -- Ray Dunn. | UUCP: ray@philmt.philips.ca Philips Electronics Ltd. | ..!{uunet|philapd|philabs}!philmtl!ray 600 Dr Frederik Philips Blvd | TEL : (514) 744-8200 Ext : 2347 (Phonemail) St Laurent.
