   Anyway, my question is: "What am I doing wrong?"  My ultimate goal is to
   have a shell script called something like groupread (rather orwellian) that
   I would use like this:

   groupread news.group > file

   where file would contain all the unread atricles in news.group.

if you ftp "dynafeed" from uunet, i.e
	uunet.uu.net:/ClariNet/dynafeed.tar.Z
and compile up the "feed" program in it, create a .newsrc file with
something like
	grep net.blurfl ~/.newsrc >.newsrc-blurfl
and then run feed like so
	feed -listmode newsrc=.newsrc-blurfl command="cat" > file
it'll do more or less what you want.  Read the man pages of course
before you do this.
