IMHO, you're going about this the wrong way.  Doing a screen capture of
a file on your local machine is kind of a mickey-mouse way of creating
the file you need, but if you insist on doing it that way, don't bother
with rn.  Find out where news articles are stored on disk (on our system
it's /usr/spool/news/news/newusers/questions for this group, for example),
then cat the article you want while doing a screen capture.

Better way:  get a comm program that supports Kermit.  Several of them
are available for the Amiga (isn't that what you have?).  The one you're
using may even support it.

Best way:  ask your sysadmin (Rich Andrews?) to help you set up downloads.
If Jolnet doesn't have Kermit, they can get it.  And they won't know
that you need to do downloads unless you tell them so.  If you're paying
for access, Jolnet should be responsive to your needs.
