- Welcome to rn. There are more options to rn than you want to think about, so
- we won't list them here. If you want to find out about them, read the manual
- page(s). There are some important things to remember, though:
-
- * Rn is not a modified readnews. Don't expect the commands to be identical.
- * Rn runs in cbreak mode. This means you don't have to type carriage return
- on single character commands. (There are some multi-character commands.)
- * At ANY prompt in rn, you may type 'h' for help. There are many different
- help menus, depending on where you are in rn. Typing <esc>h in the
- middle of a multi-character command will list escape substitutions.
- * Typing a space to any prompt means to do the normal thing. You could
- spend all day reading news and never hit anything but the space bar.
-
- This particular message comes from /sprite/lib/news/rn/newsnews. You will only
- see it once. You news administrator should feel free to substitute his or
- her own message whenever something new happens to rn, and then the file
- will again be displayed, just once for each person.
