Site-wide configuration:

Configuring defaults using the online menus:

	The defaults for the online configuration can be altered by:

1.  If they exist, remove the files "strnconfig" and ".strnconfig"
from the strn library directory.

2.  Run strn and enter the configuration menus (type 'e' at the newsgroup
selector or group scan mode).  Change the settings to the new defaults.

3.  Exit strn, and copy the file ".strnconfig" to the strn library
directory.  (The .strnconfig file will be in the same directory as the
.newsrc file.)  Make sure the strn users can read the file.

	The settings in the system .strnconfig file will be used as
defaults.  Settings in a user .strnconfig file will override the
system-wide one.

**********

The default_topic file:

	This file specifies a default topic file for the group scan mode.
When one executes "make install.full" or "make install.strn", if the
strn library directory does not contain a "default_topic" file, 
the makefile will copy this file into the strn library directory.
(Old versions of default_topic are not overwritten.)

	The default_topic file will be used by the group scan mode if
the user does not have a "top" group scan file.
Here is the current default_topic file:

----- cut -----
#### default_topic "top" topic file
## To install this file as the default topic file, do the following:
#
# 1.  Read the comments in the topic file below, and change entries as
#     appropriate.
#
# 2.  Move this file ("default_topic") to the trn library directory
#     (the same directory which contains the INIT and newsnews files).
#     This will be done by "make install.full" or "make install.strn"
#     if the library directory does not have a default_topic file.
#
## Users can override the default hierarchy by setting SCANGROUPS
## to point elsewhere, or by creating a ~/News/scangroups/top file.
## The easiest way to do this is to enter group scan mode, and select
## "Create a personalized top file for group scan mode" from the menu.
## Users can then add items to their own "top" file.

###Start of the default topic file

## Probably a good idea to start with this newsgroup--the user can always
## unsubscribe if s/he wishes.
news.announce.newusers
# Include an easy way to get to all the newsgroups
"All newsgroups" *

## Use a line like the following to make local newsgroups more obvious.
#"Widget Factory local news" widget.*

# Change the following line to point to any local hierarchy structures.
#"Default Hierarchy" /foo/bar/lib/strn/top

## If users write useful hierarchies, they can be shared by adding links
## to them.  For instance, the following would link to some of Mary's topics:
#"Mary's computer hierarchy" ~mary/News/scangroups/comp/main

## Any other shared topics/hierarchies can be added here.

##This entry will point to the user's hotlist.strn file.
"Personal Hotlist" @%p/hotlist.strn
