[slrn] dotfiles everywhere



slrn seems to spit out .article, .followup, and .postpone dotfiles
in $HOME. I can't find any reference in the docs to these files and
don't know how to point them elsewhere. I tried setting $TMPDIR,
since the manual does mention that, but no dice. I do have a nice
~/.slrn full of files and subdirectories with everything everywhere
I want it to go, but these files won't cooperate. It seems like
they should be temp files and automatically deleted (which would be
fine) or, failing that, I'd at least like to stick them in ~/.slrn
or ~/tmp. Any help is much appreciated.
