Could someone point me in the direction of a complete and thorough description
of the sys file entries for b news ? I have read the news docs, and, for me at
least, they assume too much knowledge. They refer to it as the same format as
a 'mailing list'. I have read through the discussion of the individual fields,
and understand it somewhat - tho I'm still not clear on exactly how to get the
groups I want. 

From what I can gather, I should have *all* active groups in the active file,
whether I want them or not, and use the sys file to weed them out. Correct ?

Email would be great. Thanks for your help.

Bob
