I have a problem with my sys file.  I don't have much room and need to
cut out some newsgroups.  I only want some of the alt. subgroups and I
don't want the amiga and atari stuff.  I end up with hundreds of
articles in my junk ng that should have been rejected.  Here is my sys entry:

ME:world,comp,sci,news,rec,misc,alt.fishing, \
alt.great-lakes,alt.hackers,alt.sources,alt.hackers,na,usa,ca,la, \
!comp.sys.amiga,!comp.sys.atari,!comp.binaries.amiga,!comp.binaries.atari, \
to::

This is all on one line.  I still get stuff for other alt ngs and the
atari and amiga ngs in my junk ng.

Does someone have a manual on the sys file,  also is there a line length
limit.

thanks in advance
