I use 'rn' to read usenet news, and if you wish to kill all articles that
have the word 'amiga' in the title, do the following:

while in the atari newsgroup,

	Press control-k.
	This will allow you to edit your kill file, type the following:

		/amiga/j

	This will junk all amiga titled messages.

I did this a few days ago, and it really is nice to skip all the garbage.
