I need a program (csh) to do the following thing :
Each day when I logon the vax (UNIX 4.2bsd), I just invoke it. Then, it will
'read' the news for me. (Assuming I have .rewsrc file) AND it will save the
news in a file.      .... Because sometime I am just too busy to sit in front
of terminal to read through the news. I need a 'script' or program to do the
job (background or foreground doesn't matter) for me so that later (probably
one or two weeks later!) I can look at the saved file.
I appreciate any help or hint.

Actually, my final goal is to transfer the news automatically (one command job)
from vax to my lisa which has kermit on it.  I can use kermit to transfer
the above saved file to lisa. But it will be nice if this can be done by one
command instead of 'reading news, saving to file' then transfering. Any help ???
