That makes it easy to migrate the program to another system (or sync it
with another system), too. If you have set it up in the same location
(xnews folder has the same path) in each, you can just copy that folder
from one machine to the other. Hell, if your system allows USB
execution I think you can just carry it with you on a thumb drive and
run it from there wherever you are. :)
