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 \*(L"a pattern\*(R" command in trn (such as \*(L"a linux\*(R"). If you already have a .newsrc, it will be backed up with the name \*(L".newsrc-old\*(R". .SH ENVIRONMENT .IP DOTDIR 8 Where to put your .newsrc, if not in your home directory. .Sp Default: $HOME .IP HOME 8 Your home directory. .Sp Default: $LOGDIR .IP LOGDIR 8 Your home directory if HOME is undefined. .SH FILES /usr/lib/news/subscriptions or a reasonable facsimile .br ${DOTDIR-{$HOME-$LOGDIR}}/.newsrc .SH SEE ALSO trn(1), rn(1), newsrc(5) .SH DIAGNOSTICS .SH BUGS
