I was in the

Put newsgroup where?     level.  I did not want to be there.  Typing h did
not give me any way to not put the group anywhere
I typed Ctrl-C.  Nothing happened.
I typed Ctrl-C again:

Put newsgroup where? [$^L]
Bye-bye.

Caught an internal error--.newsrc restored


My .newsrc was *not* restored.  It was gone.

What I think it should do:

At the Put newsgroup where?  it should accept 'u' to unsubscribe, instead of
makeing one subsribe then unsubscribe.

Ctrl-C should never erase your .newsrc file.  At a bare minimum it should grab
my .oldnewsrc and use that (I assume that's what it normally does)

This is reproducible.  I'm running on PODGE.
