I thought this particularly long thread in alt.os.linux.slackware using
the slrn newsreader looked interesting as ascii art, so here's a 'screen shot':

He he.  Greate thread.   

Here is a serving suggestion for your though.  slrnpull and in fact
most things in News are not things you need to see very often since
slrn takes care of its self nicely.  This is also true of mail and a
lot of other dirs that start to clutter up ~/ after a while.  

+-(faux@fugozi)-(268/14)-(14:54:32:Thu May 22)-
+-($:~)-
ls
agenda  asciify  bin  cars   cron_is_Working  fax  info  lib
manifest.sh  nohup.out  psql_tables  shell  site  tmp  win
+-(faux@fugozi)-(269/14)-(14:54:32:Thu May 22)-
+-($:~)-
ls -a | wc -l
    183

I move all of the program dirs to "." files.  Helps keep things
clean.

It's quite a read.

True. I have been considering moving both Mail and News in this way. I
don't know why I can't quite do it yet. :)

Is that history and return code?

Interesting! I'm usually tidy with my home, but the recent new internet
connection means I have gone in to upgrade overdrive. (Tar balls 
everywhere). 

It usally has just these dirs:
bin/ devel/ doc/ Mail/ News/ src/

mark ~$ ls -a | wc -l
    186

Sounds like a good idea. I may move Mail/ and News/ yet. :)

It is all in the config files.

In slrn it's little things like this:

set scorefile ".News/Score"
set postpone_directory ".News/postponed"

In mutt it is like this:
set folder="~/.mail"
set spoolfile="~/.mail/mbox"

tty of 14. I guess that's the power of screen(1).

Thanks. :)

That's good. I've saved that so I can do vertical parachutes in future.
