The SET command is used to display and/or change the various RexxNews options.
When the set command is issued with no paramters, a list of variable names,
their values, and their types is displayed.
The variable types are:
W Whole Number (including dates such as 940413)
B Binary (0=false, 1=true)
A Alphanumeric (any value is allowed)
If a variable is displayed by the SET command, you can use the set command to
change its value. Most of the variable names are long and self-explanatory.
You must supply a value of the correct type to change a variable's value. An
error message will be returned otherwise.
The variables include:
newsrcname name of the newsrc file
overlap number of lines to overlap when displaying an list
headers 1=display headers with articles, 0=no headers
displayatgroup 1=display current article after the group command
rows number of rows on the screen
cols number of columns on the screen

subscribed, '!' is unsubscribed, other is unknown)
