With the current system, this means seeing many articles more that once. But, as some people seem to *like* seeing duplicates, how about the following scheme : After a 'readnews -n net.wobegon', only the 'net.wobegon' line in your newsrc is updated. After an ordinary 'readnews', all lines are updated. Jack. {philabs|decvax}!mcvax!vu44!jack
