1 ATTACH
 Permits you to switch control of your  terminal  from  your  current
process to another process in your job.
 The ATTACH command allows you to move quickly between processes that
you have created with the SPAWN command.  For example, while you are
editing a file, you can SPAWN a subprocess (MAIL) to read a new mail
message.   Enter the ATTACH command to get back to back to the
editing session.  If you  want to read another new mail message, you
can use the ATTACH  command to get back to the  MAIL subprocess you
already created.
.NJ
 Format:

.I+10;ATTACH [/PARENT] [process-name]
.J

 Keypad key definitions are not saved between NEWSRDR sessions.  To retain
your key definitions, create a file containing DEFINE/KEY commands in your

can call the file something else and define the logical name NEWSRDR__KEYDEFS
to point to that file.

specifying /EDIT on the REPLY command or by a previous SET EDIT command.
.i-1

 When both this qualifier and /POST are omitted, mailing and/or posting of
the reply is determined by the current SET REPLY setting.
.I-1
/POST
 The /POST qualifier indicates that the reply should be posted as a
followup article.  This is the default if neither /MAIL nor /POST is
specified.  The /MAIL and /POST qualifiers may be used together to

from the reply.  If omitted, the subject of the reply will be "Re: " followed

2 ARCHIVE__DIRECTORY
 The SET ARCHIVE__DIRECTORY command is used to establish a default
device and directory where articles saved with the EXTRACT command should be
stored. Use SET NOARCHIVE__DIRECTORY to remove the archive specification.
.I-1
2 AUTO__READ__NEW
 The SET AUTO__READ__NEW command controls how NEWSRDR behaves when a
READ/NEW, READ/NEXT/NEW, or READ/NEXT/NEW/GROUP command visits a new group.
When enabled (the default), the first new article in the newly visited group
is displayed automatically.  When disabled, the new group is set but the
new article is not displayed, giving you the opportunity to enter some commands
before examining any articles in the new group.
.I-1
2 AUTO__SAVE__PROFILE
 The SET AUTO__SAVE__PROFILE command turns on automatic saves of your
NEWSRDR profile whenever a
READ/NEW, READ/NEXT/NEW, or READ/NEXT/NEW/GROUP command visits a new group.
By default NEWSRDR only saves your profile information on exit.
.I-1
2 DIRECTORY__WIDTH
 Specifies the number of columns that should be allocated to the From and
Subject fields in subsequent DIRECTORY commands.  By default, the available
space is split evenly between the two fields.  Specify SET DIRECTORY__WIDTH
with no qualifiers to revert to the default behaviour.
 You can fix the number of columns for one or both of the fields with this
command; if one is fixed, the other will occupy the remaining avaiable
space.
.NJ

.J
.I-1
3 Qualifiers
.I-1

2 EDIT
 The SET EDIT command is used for two reasons.  First, SET EDIT and SET NOEDIT
turn on and off, respectively, the automatic invocation of a text
editor when composing messages with the MAIL, POST, and
REPLY commands.  Second, the /EDITOR qualifier can be used to select any
callable editor.
.NJ
 Format:
.I+10;SET EDIT
.I+10;SET NOEDIT
.J
.I-1
3 Qualifier
.I-1
/EDITOR
 /EDITOR=(editor,type)
 The /EDITOR qualifier is used to select an editor for subsequent use in
message composition.  The editor type may be CALLABLE or SPAWN.
 For CALLABLE, any available callable editor can be used with NEWSRDR;
the default is "TPU" (which uses VAXTPU/EVE).
"EDT" is the other callable editor that comes with VMS;
if you have the VAX Language-Sensitive Editor installed, you can also use
"LSE".  Any other compliant callable editor may also be used.
 For type SPAWN, you specify the command to be spawned.  The command
should execute a command procedure which in turn invokes the
spawned editor.  Refer to the user's guide for further information.
.I-1
2 FORCE__MAIL__PROTOCOL
 The SET FORCE__MAIL__PROTOCOL command forces NEWSRDR to prefix all e-mail
addresses with the VMS MAIL foreign mail protocol prefix (taken from
logical name NEWSRDR__MAIL__PROTOCOL), even on messages addressed to local
users.  By default, NEWSRDR prefixes addresses only when they are identified
as network addresses.

SUBJECT, MESSAGE__ID (note underscore in place of hyphen), PATH, REPLY__TO,
SENDER, FOLLOWUP__TO, EXPIRES, REFERENCES, DISTRIBUTION, ORGANIZATION, KEYWORDS,
SUMMARY, APPROVED, LINES, and XREF.  Use "NO" in front of the header field name

affecting all newsgroups.
.I-1

with a message ID matching the specified pattern, which may contain
wildcards, will be ignored.

the specified pattern, which can contain wildcards, will be ignored.

2 NEWGROUP__ACTION
 Sets the action that NEWSRDR should taken when it discovers a new newsgroup
on the news server.
.NJ
 Format:
.I+10;SET NEWGROUP__ACTION NONE
.I+10;SET NEWGROUP__ACTION PROMPT
.I+10;SET NEWGROUP__ACTION SUBSCRIBE
.J
 The default action, NONE, has NEWSRDR announce the availability of the
new newsgroup, but does not subscribe you to the group.  The PROMPT action
has NEWSRDR prompt you interactively as to whether or not you wish to subscribe
to the new group.  The SUBSCRIBE action causes NEWSRDR to subscribe you to
all new newsgroups automatically.
.I-1
2 NEWSRC
 Establishes the name of a "newsrc" file, which is a plain text file that
contains information about groups you are subscribed to and the articles
you have seen in those groups.  This kind of file is used by other news
readers.
.NJ
 Format:
.I+10;SET NEWSRC [file-spec]
.I+10;SET NONEWSRC
.J
 By using a newsrc file, you can switch between NEWSRDR and most other
news readers without losing subscription and seen-article information.
If you omit the file-spec, it defaults to SYS$LOGIN:XX.NEWSRC.
.I-1
3 Qualifiers
.I-1
/PURGE
 /PURGE     (default)
 /NOPURGE
 Controls whether or not NEWSRDR automatically purges old versions of
your newsrc file when it writes out a new one.  The default is /PURGE,
which purges the old versions.  Use /NOPURGE to prevent this.
.I-1
/SUBSCRIBED__ONLY
 /SUBSCRIBED__ONLY
 Causes NEWSRDR to write out information only on newsgroups to which you
are subscribed, rather than the entire list.  This can save disk space
and is useful if you intend to use the newsrc file only for specifying the
order of the newsgroups you read.
 Other news readers may expect to see all newsgroups listed in your newsrc
file, so you should be careful with this option if you are sharing your
newsrc with other news readers.
.I-1
2 PERSONAL__NAME
 The SET [NO]PERSONAL__NAME command is used to establish (or remove) a personal
name which is added to your network address in article postings.
.NJ
 Format:
.I+10;SET PERSONAL__NAME "your name"
.I+10;SET NOPERSONAL__NAME

.J
.I-1
2 Parameter
 command

 Specifies the DCL command string that executes in the context of the
