I have just been trying to get a detailed list of all the newsgroups here 
(using NEWS 5.8A).  In theory, all I need to do is
	SHOW ENTRY *

But it always paginates the output, even when news is in NOSCREEN mode.  I did 
not want to sit there typing return after each newsgroup's display, so I 
though that I would do it in a command file, with lots of returns after teh 
SHOW ENTRY command.  But the output consists only of the first 8 (?) 
characters of each line.

Is there a better way?

(Why I want the list is to find any newsgroups that have been made /LOCAL when 
a rmgroup has been received.  I have occasionally forgotten to delete these 
groups and thought it was about time I cleaned them up.)
