/H1/DOCUMENTS/EMAIL/NEWSGROUPS.CFG
as follows:alt.sys.pdp11 ASP11 0
- Run
EMAIL.SYSTEM
and usingN)ew
command to create mailboxASP11
, matching the line inNEWSGROUPS.CFG
. You may use any name you choose. - Use the Closed Apple-R command to run
NNTP65.SYSTEM
and retreive messages from the newly-subscribed newsgroup.
When the 'last message' field of the newgroup is zero, NNTP65.SYSTEM

so that subsequent runs will retrieve new messages only.
