NAME

       newsetup - a program to set up a .newsrc file

SYNOPSIS

       newsetup

DESCRIPTION

       The  newsetup  program  creates  a  new  .newsrc  file  containing  an list of recommended
       newsgroups for the first time user.  If your news admin has specified such a list (usually
       in  the  file  NEWSLIB/subscriptions)  trn  will  use  that as a default for your .newsrc.
       Otherwise you get a ridiculously small list that you'll  want  to  add  to  using  the  "a
       pattern"  command  in  trn (such as "a linux").  If you already have a .newsrc, it will be
       backed up with the name ".newsrc-old".

ENVIRONMENT

       DOTDIR  Where to put your .newsrc, if not in your home directory.

               Default: $HOME

       HOME    Your home directory.

               Default: $LOGDIR

       LOGDIR  Your home directory if HOME is undefined.

FILES

       /usr/lib/news/subscriptions or a reasonable facsimile
       ${DOTDIR-{$HOME-$LOGDIR}}/.newsrc
