I tried the instructions referenced in subject posting for saving articles
using rn.  Needless to say, I am having a problem.  When I get to the point
where it asks if I want to read MORE, I enter 's' and it immediately takes
me to the end of the article.  I then finish the save command by giving it
a destination filename (test.txt, or something).  It then says the save to
directory cannot be found and says it will save to my home directory.  It
asks if I want to use mail format.  I tried both 'y' and 'n' to this and
it comes back saying it saved the article in file such and such.  When I 'cat'
the file tho', all that's there is a line or more of addressing stuff and then
a line 'Article 13534 of comp.sys.amiga'.  That's it, nothing close to the
contents of the article.  BTW. I tried this several times before subject
posting, but I figured I must have been doing something wrong.  Thought I'd
try once more since the posting said that was the way to do it.  Any thoughts
on what my problem{(besides not knowing what the h*ll I'm doing) might be?
Any and all E-MAIL help would be appreciated.  If I weren't a 1000 miles
>from the host site, I'd go down the hall and ask someone.  Please bear with
me.  Regards, Dave
