NEWSGROUPS(1)		     General Commands Manual		   NEWSGROUPS(1)

NAME
     newsgroups - a program to list unsubscribed newsgroups.

SYNOPSIS
     newsgroups pattern flag

DESCRIPTION
     The  newsgroups  program compares your .newsrc file with the file of active
     newsgroups, and prints a list of unsubscribed newsgroups matching	pattern.
     If the second argument "flag" is present, only newsgroups not found in your
     .newsrc  are  listed, and the display is not paged.  If the second argument
     is missing, the display is paged, and an additional  list	of  unsubscribed
     newsgroups occurring in your .newsrc is printed.

ENVIRONMENT
     DOTDIR  Where to find 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/active or a reasonable facsimile
     ${DOTDIR-{$HOME-$LOGDIR}}/.newsrc

SEE ALSO
     rn(1), newsrc(5)

DIAGNOSTICS
BUGS
     The flag argument is a kludge.
