Slight Bug (I think)

       I've found what seems to be a bug in the *documentation* (note
       that there is no problem with the code here).  In the manual for
       the .newsrc file ("newsrc.5"), it states that you can put

               options -s blah blah blah

       in your newsrc file, just like before.  However, if you do this,
       all readnews will give you is your subscription list.  So, if you
       change it to

               options -n blah blah blah

       it works right.  It might be a good idea to fix this in your doc.
