	I'm trying to setup my rn macro file with lines of the following
form in order to preferentially read messages by certain people.  I
seem to have problems if I add more then 3 or 4 names to the list.
(A "Badly compiled patter" message results.)

ip /From:.*\\(henry@utzoo\\)\\|\\(Chris Torek\\)/h^M

	Is there a better way to do this?  Is this a known problem?
Is there a fix?

				Thanks,
				Bill Bogstad

P.S.  I'm using rn (actually rrn) with patchlevel 40.
