Hello,

Can anyone please tell me how can I un-subscribe to all the newsgroups at 
one stroke?

Well, the story is, somehow the other, I have just become a member of all 
the newsgroups.

Thanks, Dinesh.

The quickest way would be to load up $HOME/.netrc with your favorite text
editor and to remove them there.

Thanks for replying.

  I tried it. But unfortunately the editor is opening it as a new file.

  Thanks again.

I have a sneaky solution to your problem which makes use of the format
of your newsrc file.

o Go to the .newsrc file in your home directory. By default, it is
  $HOME/.newsrc
o Load it up into any editor.
o Change all the ':' characters in the file to '!' characters..
o That's it. You are done....

Hope it helps,
