SLRN(1) SLRN(1) NAME slrn - An easy to use NNTP based newsreader. SYNOPSIS slrn [ -n ] [ -h nntp-server-name ] [ -f newsrc-file ] [ -create ] [ -C ] [ -help ] DESCRIPTION slrn is an easy to use but powerful NNTP based newsreader. It relies extensively on the S-Lang programmer's library for many of its features. If no server is specified on the command line using the -h option, the server specified by the NNTPSERVER environment variable will be used. The -f option specifies which newsrc file should be used. If none is specified, a default value of .jnewsrc will be used. This value can be set on a server by server basis using the .slrnrc initial- ization file. The -create option should be used the first time slrn is used for a particular server. This causes slrn to read the entire list of groups available at the server and place them in the selected newsrc file. If the NNTP connection is slow, this process may take several minutes. Fortu- nately, this happens only when the -create flag is used. If -C is specified on the command line, the terminal is assumed to support colors. Colors may be specified by using the initialization file. If the -n option is pre- sent, no new newsgroups will be checked for. This may result in a faster startup. BASIC OPERATION Using slrn is simple. For many, simply typing slrn will connect to a news server. After starting, slrn checks for the existence of new newsgroups and automatically sub- scribes to them. Then after new news is checked, slrn goes into ``full screen'' mode at which point the user can unsubscribe to one or more groups. slrn will display a list of newsgroups that looks like: -> 3 sci.research.postdoc 689-705 1 comp.databases.olap 1-1 4 rec.antiques.radio+phono 1-4 1 comp.emulators.ms-windows.win 339-349 113 comp.unix.questions 74401-74513 11 gnu.ghostscript.bug 4874-4884 100 alt.music.pink-floyd 7941-8040 11 rec.sport.baseball.analysis 239-249 3 rec.sport.baseball.data 267-269 13 sci.physics.electromag 1159-1171 65 comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.systems 4754-4818 1 SLRN(1) SLRN(1) 5 sci.physics.particle 1069-1073 2 comp.sources.x 2362-2363 2 comp.unix.user-friendly 2603-2604 Here the middle column shows the name of a newsgroup and the left column shows the number of unread articles in the group. The right column shows the range of articles pre- sent on the server. Note the presence of the -> in the first column on the `sci.research.postdoc' line. This sym- bol is used by slrn as a pointer to indicate the currently selected line. It may be moved up and down by using the arrow keys. Pressing the RETURN key or the SPACEBAR at this point will select the `sci.research.postdoc' group. A new screen will appear showing something like: ->- 703 (P) Lecturer in Comp. dumontet@nuri.inria.fr (dumo - 704 Research & Developnment dumontet@nuri.inria.fr (dumo - 705 Re: Example of proposal shinbrot@bart.chem-eng.nwu.e Here, each line consists of four fields and possibly the -> cursor. The first field indicates whether the article has been read or not. A hyphen ( - ) in the first field indicates that the article has not been read. Since a hyphen appears in the first field in all three of the lines above, none of the articles have been marked as read. A d in this field indicates that an article has been read. The currently selected article can be changed from the read to the unread state by pressing the u key. The d key may be used to mark the article as read without actu- ally reading it. The c key may be used to mark all the articles as read (Actually this is the preferred way to use the newsreader: scan the articles by eye looking for something interesting then before moving on to next news- group, press `c' to mark all articles as read). The second field displays the server number of the arti- cle. The third and fourth fields contain the subject and author of the article, respectively. Pressing the SPACEBAR or the RETURN key will create a sec- ond window and display the contents of the currently selected article. The screen will now consist of two win- dows - a large one and a small one. The large window, known as the article window, will contain the currently selected article and the small one, known as the summary window, will contain the list of articles as shown above. The space bar may be used the scroll the article forward and the DELETE key or the `B' key may be used to scroll it backward. The UP/DOWN arrow keys simply move the -> cursor from one line to another in the summary window. To hide the article window, press the h key.This will zoom the summary window to full screen. The f key may be used to post a followup to the currently 2 SLRN(1) SLRN(1) selected article. To return to the list of Newsgroups, press the Q key to leave this mode.

E Edit score parameters using this article as tem- plate ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES slrn uses the following list of environment variables: NNTPSERVER NNTP Server to connect to if none specified when slrn is started. EDITOR SLANG_EDITOR Editor to use when composing messages. The '%s' and `%d' format descriptors may be used 6 SLRN(1) SLRN(1) to specify the filename and line number respectively. For example, if `jed' is your editor, then you can use something like: setenv SLANG_EDITOR 'jed %s -g %d' in your shell startup file. If you are using a bash shell, you could instead use the command: export SLANG_EDITOR='jed %s -g %d' in your shell startup file. SLANG_EDITOR is the pref- ered environment variable since all slang- applications that use an editor look for this variable and understand this syntax. REPLYTO Address to be inserted into the `Reply-To' field. ORGANIZATION String to be used in the `Organization' field. slrn INITIALIZATION FILE If a file called .slrnrc is present in the users HOME directory, slrn will use it as an initialization file. This file can contain list of personalized keybindings as well as a list of server -- newsrc mappings. BINDING KEYS To bind a key to a particular function use the syntax: setkey keymap function key-sequence The setkey function requires three arguments.The first argument specifies the keymap to be used for the bindings. Valid keymaps are: group and article. The function argu- ment spacifies the function that is executed when keys in the last argument are pressed. For example, setkey group quit "x" indicates that if x is pressed at the group level, the quit function will be executed. Note that although not normally necessary, the last argument should be enclosed in double quotes since it may contain SPACE characters. The key-sequence argument can consist of several charac- ters. For example, on many terminals, the RIGHT arrow sends the three characters ESC, `[' and `C' to the termi- nal. To bind the RIGHT key to `select_group' function, use: setkey group select_group "\e[C" Sometimes, it is necessary to unbind a key from a keymap before binding the key. For example, one cannot do: 7 SLRN(1) SLRN(1) setkey group quit "\e" to bind the ESC key to the quit function without first unsetting it. This is because the default bindings use the ESC character as the prefix character for certain keymaps. To achieve this goal, use the unsetkey function: unsetkey group "\e" setkey group quit "\e" Here the unsetkey function has been used to remove the binding for the ESC character before binding it to the `quit' function. Please note that unsetting the ESC key will also unset any key sequence been with the ESC key. This includes most function keys. See the example initialization file below for the list of functions and their meaning. USING MULTIPLE SERVERS The easiest way to use multiple servers is through the use of the server command in the .slrnrc file. This command simple associates a server name with a newsrc file: server nntp-server newsrc-file For example, suppose that you use three servers with host- names `red.news.edu', `blue.news.edu', and `green.news.edu'. The the lines: server red.news.edu .jnewsrc-red server blue.news.edu .jnewsrc-blue server green.news.edu .jnewsrc-green specify that the file .jnewsrc-red is to be used when the server red.news.edu connected to, etc... DEFINING COLORS Color support is enabled when suing the `-C' command line switch. The colors may be defined through the use of the `color' keyword in the `.slrnrc' file. The syntax is: color OBJECT-NAME FOREGROUND-COLOR BACKGROUND-COLOR Here, OBJECT-NAME can be any one of the following items: menu -- Line at the top of the display (menu bar) menu_press -- Menu bar entry when activated status -- Status line attached to windows cursor -- The --> position indicator 8 SLRN(1) SLRN(1) error -- Error messages group -- Newsgroup names (group mode) description -- Newsgroup descriptions (group mode) article -- The body of the article (not headers) headers -- The lines that constitute the headers of the article author -- Author's name subject -- Subject signature -- Author's signature quotes -- Quoted material high_score -- Articles with high scores tree -- Article tree tilde -- Tildes (tilde mode) thread_number -- Thread numbers normal -- anything not included above The foreground/background color names can be any of the following: black gray red brightred green brightgreen brown yellow blue brightblue magenta brightmagenta cyan brightcyan lightgray white Most terminals do not support the second group of colors for the background. HIDING QUOTED ARTICLES Often articles contain quotes of previous articles. slrn is capable of not displaying lines in an article that match a given regular expression. The regular expression may be specified by putting a line of the form ignore_quotes REGULAR-EXPRESSION in the .slrnrc startup file. The default regular expres- sion is "^ ?[:>=]" which matches any line that begins with or without a space followed by either a colon, greater than sign, or an equal sign. To toggle the display of such lines on or off, press the `T' key when in article mode. 9 SLRN(1) SLRN(1) ARTICLE SCORING (For a complete description of the flexibility in the slrn scorefile system, see the files KILL_FAQ and score.txt in the slrn distribution) slrn incorporates a sophisticated system for scoring arti- cles. In other newsreaders, one of slrn's scoring fea- tures would be called a " killfile ". But unlike some other newsreaders, slrn provides for a great degree of flexibility and the capability to mark articles in ways other than merely killing them. Four levels of scoring are provided: -9999 The scored article is deleted (as with a common killfile) and will not appear in the header window -1 through -9998 The scored article appears with a " D " as in "Deleted" flag in the header window 0 normal article 1 through 99999 The scored article's header appears with a " ! " flag to indicate importance CONFIGURING THE SCOREFILE The scorefile system is disabled until you set scorefile to the pathname of the file slrn should use to hold the scoring parameters. Once set, scorefile may be accessed through the E command at the header window, or may be edited manually. When accessed with E , slrn appends a template based upon the currently selected article to the scorefile with various parameters taken from the article and you are placed in your editor. To enable scoring, delete the % comment sym- bol from the first column of the header line(s) you wish to score upon. The other way to configure your scorefile is by editing the file directly, with a text editor. Here is a sample scorefile (remember the KILL_FAQ and score.txt files are the definitive references for the score system): [news.software.readers] Score: 9999 % All slrn articles are good Subject: slrn Score: 9999 % This is someone I want to hear from 10 SLRN(1) SLRN(1) From: davis@space.mit.edu Score = -9999 Subject: <f?agent> [comp.os.linux.*] Score: -10 Expires: 1/1/1996 Subject: swap Score: 20 Subject: SunOS Score: 50 From: Linus % Kill all articles cross posted to an advocacy group Score: -9999 Xref: advocacy ~From: Linus % This person I want nothing to do with unless he posts about % `gizmos' but only in comp.os.linux.development.* Score: -9999 From: someone@who.knows.where ~Subject: gizmo ~Newsgroup: development % These stooges post massive .sigs all the time. I like % to track them [alt.fan.warlord] Score:: 20 Subject: larry Subject: curly This file consists of two sections. The first section defines a set of tests applied to the news.software.readers newsgroups. The second section applies to the comp.os.linux newsgroups. The first section consists of three tests. The first test applies a score of 9999 to any subject that contains the string `slrn'. The second test applies to the `From'. It says that any article from davis@space.mit.edu gets scores 9999. The third test gives a score of -9999 to any arti- cle whose subject contains the word `agent'. Since tests are applied in order, if an article contains both `slrn' and `agent', it will be given a score of 9999 since 9999 is a special score value. 11 SLRN(1) SLRN(1) The second section is more complex. It applies to the newsgroups comp.os.linux newsgroups and consists of 5 tests. The first three are simple: -10 points are given if the subject contains `swap', 20 if it contains SunOS, and 50 if the article is from someone named `Linus'. This means that if Bill@Somewhere writes an article whose sub- ject is `Swap, Swap, Swap', the article is give -10 points. However, if the Linus writes an article with the same title, it is given -10 + 50 = 40 points. Note that the first test expires at the beginning of 1996. The fourth test kills all articles that were cross posted to an advocay newsgroup UNLESS they were posted by Linus. Note that if a keyword begins with the `~' character, the effect of the regular expression is reversed. The fourth test serves to filter out posts from some- one@who.knows.where unless he posts about `gizmos' in one of the comp.os.development newsgroups. Again note the `~' character. The last test marks as important messages from mentioning Moe or Curly in the alt.fan.warlord newsgroup. This demonstrates use of an "OR" condition in a scorefile. COURTESY COPY If you elect to send a courtesy copy of your followup article to the original poster, you may easily do so by adding a "Cc:" header to the article. Here is an example of how to send a courtesy copy of a followup to John Davis' (slrn's author) announcement of a new slrn version: Newsgroups: news.software.readers Subject: Re: slrn 0.8.0 Released!
