KILL files do not seem to work

[acli]

Commands that should work (according to articles found by Google) and that work when typed at the prompt get “processed” when entering a newsgroup but do not seem to have any effect.

This might be an NNTP-only issue. Need to investigate.

KILL files are working for me. Can you give a sample of what you are doing? Or how about I provide a sample of one of mine.
