I don't think the specific question of rust removal is covered in this
file, other than scrubbing it off. But this file has some real good
comments on preventing the rust from reappearing and on seasoning iron
cooking gear.

This file can be found in the FOOD section of Stefan's Florilegium:

iron-pot-care-msg (23K)  8/ 7/96    Seasoning and caring for iron pots and 
                                       skillets.

Naval jelly often does good at removing rust. As it is a caustic, you
will want to make sure it is removed before cooking in the pot. But since
if you don't remove it, it will continue to eat your pot you will
want to do a good job of removing it anyway.
