Did this work for anybody else??  Didn't work for me . . . 

Also, being a neophyte to rn, was there a compile switch I missed??  Every
time I start up rn with a net (rn misc), I ALWAYS have to go through these:

********   0 unread articles in comp.bugs.misc--read now? [ynq] n
********   0 unread articles in comp.mail.misc--read now? [ynq] n
********   0 unread articles in comp.misc--read now? [ynq] n
********   0 unread articles in comp.protocols.misc--read now? [ynq] n
********   0 unread articles in comp.sources.misc--read now? [ynq] n
********   0 unread articles in comp.std.misc--read now? [ynq] n
******** 287 unread articles in misc.consumers.house--read now? [ynq]

I don't really care about '0 unread articles'!!  This is a short list . . . 
it sometimes get's long and tedious.

Any ideas??
