-
-I would like to set it up so that when I enter certain newsgroups
-I kill all new articles except for those containing certain strings.
-I tried the following in a KILL file
-
-/^/j
-/arthur/a:m

There is no way to do this (in RN) in one step with a kill file. What 
you want to do is this.  Set up your kill file with the following line:

/keyword/a:M	(note the capital...it's critical)

Then, when the kill file finishes searching, go into the group and "c" to
catch up.  The articles marked in the kill file will then return.
