+.SH NAME
+newsrc \- information file for readnews(1) and checknews(1)
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.I .newsrc
+file contains the list of previously read articles and an optional
+options line for
+.IR readnews(1) " and " checknews(1).
+Each newsgroup that articles
+have been read from has a line of the form:
+.LP
+.I newsgroup: range
+.LP
+The
+.I range
+is a list of the articles read. It is basically a list of no.'s
+separated by commas with sequential no.'s collapsed with hyphens.
+For instance:
+.LP
+.B general: 1-78,80,85-90
+.br
+.B fa.info-cpm: 1-7
+.br
+.B net.news: 1
+.br
+.B fa.info-vax! 1-5
+.br
+.LP
+If the : is replaced with an ! (as in info-vax above) the newsgroup
+is not subscribed to and will not be shown to the user.
+.LP
+An options line starts with the word
+.B options
+(left-justified). Then there are the list of options just as they
+would be on the command line. For instance:
+.LP
+.B "options \-n all !fa.sf-lovers !fa.human-nets \-r"
+.br
+.B "options \-c \-r"
+.LP
+A string of lines beginning with a space or tab after the initial options
+line will be considered continuation lines.
