Kill files are used by the 'rn' newsreader package.  They have no
meaning to the rest of 'news' per se.

Therefore the way to find out about Kill files is to read the
'rn' documentation.  There is adequate description there.

Readers should take no offense at 'RTFM' answers here, because
one of the most IMPORTANT lessons for new Usenet users is in fact
to consult all available offline documentation first, BEFORE
posting queries to the net.  The net cannot, *cannot* replace
standard documentation.

This lesson is too often observed in the breach, but here is one
place where it can be drummed in. :-)
