The 'getting-started.txt' subdirectory contains an FAQ that provides a comprehensive introduction to news and the NN newsreader. It also includes a lot of general news concepts and strategies that might be useful with other newsreaders.

This FAQ is also located in the 'NN/GettingStarted/getting-started' subdirectory. The 'quick_ref' subdirectory provides access to a very short document to be used as a quick reference to the NN newsreader. The 'really_quick_start' subdirectory contains another document regarding the NN newsreader entitled 'Getting Started with NN'. The information supplied in this document covers the viewing of a list of articles, selecting and reading articles, saving an article, creating and editing your init file, suggestions for customizing NN and posting an article. It is much less comprehensive than the NN newsreader FAQ and readers are referred to this FAQ if these shorter documents are not specific enough.
