I have found that KILL files are essential for reading news, but I waste too much time sitting by while they execute. Would someone explain how I can run my rn KILL files as background jobs? I use rn under Berkeley UNIX with a C shell. I've tried to read the Fine Manual, but I don't think I understand it very well. Thanx! -Bret
