Rather than using inc (which does locking that you don't want/need) I
wrote the following script:

	#!/bin/csh -f
	#
	# rntomh
	#
	# Arguments:
	#   %C  newsgroup name, dot form
	#   %a  article number
	#
	# Stdin:
	#   the article to save

	set folder=+news
	( echo "Article: $2 of $1" ; cat ) | /usr/new/lib/mh/rcvstore $folder

	echo Saved article $2 of $1 to $folder.

After adding the following line to your .rnmac:

	s       s|rntomh %C %a^J	(uparrow-J seems to work here)

Typing 's' cause the current article to be stored as the last message
in the folder news. Note that I also use -N (non-mailbox format) with
rn. Not sure if this is important.
