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  pat-
       tern"  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

SEE ALSO
       trn(1), rn(1), newsrc(5)
