Hello there.
Whenever xrn starts up, it creates that file. It is removed if you
exit xrn normally (which you should always try to do), but if, for
example, you logged out without quitting xrn (which you should try to
never do), it won't get removed. This is done to keep two different
xrn's from writting the single .newsrc file (in your hoemdirectory),
which would cause the file to become mangled.
To remove it, you probably want to do something like `delete
~/.xrnlock' - that is, you're supposed to remove the file however you
normally would.
