I have seen this in the postings for some time.  Can someone explain what 
"Kill Files" means.  References ??

It is a system to automatically delete, hide or mark mails/articles posted
by a certain person, discussing certain subjects or containing certain
matters. Powerful kill file systems usually feature extensive regexp
patters to enable all sorts of different filtering/masking.

I have been following a couple of very active news groups and really need 
to get some filtering going.
Can anyone point me to instructions on implementing a filter/killfile for 
Pine running on a Sun SPARC?

technology is the answer, what was the question?

    So far as I know, Pine does not have killfile capability for either
mail or news.  For Un*x Pine users, something like procmail or filter
can handle mail, but I know of nothing for news.  If someone sends you
a technique that works, please be kind enough to share it, as I would
be interested, and quite possibly others would be as well.
