The doc on score file is a bit scarce (for my standard :-(..) is there
a better doc ... with more examples?

My setup is a bit complicated actually. I'm using Waffle 1.65 to down/upload
my e-mails/news via UUCP. I've also got Solar ... a SOUP door for Waffle
to create SOUP packets which I import into Yarn. My P.C. is a standalone
P.C. and am not running a BBS. I've scan through Waffle and Solar's docs and
none of them says anything about killfiles :-(

Now I notices them ... thanx a lot ... must increase my contact lens power
