I'd rather not run uqwk myself if I can help it - seems fairly
complicated. And adjusting the command line switches and changing
environment variables is likely to take as long if not longer than
setting my NNTPSERVER and doing one copy command. I could just do
each of these actions by sending a preset string with a hot key in my
terminal.
