NAME
       newsetup - a program to set up a .newsrc file

SYNOPSIS
       newsetup

DESCRIPTION
       The  newsetup  program  creates a new .newsrc file containing all of the currently active newsgroups.  It tries to put them in a reasonable
       order, i.e. local newsgroups earlier, but you'll probably want to change the ordering anyway (if you use rn) in order  to  put  interesting
       newsgroups first.  If you already have a .newsrc, it will be backed up with the name ".oldnewsrc".

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/active or a reasonable facsimile
       ${DOTDIR-{$HOME-$LOGDIR}}/.newsrc

SEE ALSO
       rn(1), newsrc(5)
