Documentation

Non-nil means that Gnus will save the .newsrc file.

Gnus always saves its own startup file, which is called
".newsrc.eld". The file called ".newsrc" is in a format that can
be readily understood by other newsreaders. If you don't plan on using other newsreaders, set this variable to nil to save some time on exit.
