By default it does this everytime one switches groups. If you set the preference: Configuration->Record articles read... When quitting the application, it only writes the .newsrc out once at the end. This speeds it up quite a bit at the expense of a bit less reliabililty. I also wish it would save articles by appending them to a file like rn does. This really is much more convenient than having them labeled by their article number, but I suppose the current method is better for indexing in the Librarian. -- ..STeve ------------------------------------ Insert pity maxim here... steve@tweedledee.ucsb.edu (NeXT mail)
