- Simple News Command Keys
- ========================
-
- General.
- --------
-
- All command letters are case sensitive. The upper case and lower case
- letters can and do perform different commands. (i.e. 'n' and 'N'
- perform different functions)
-
- The '^' symbol before a letter indicates that the <control> key
- should be pressed with this letter. In other words this is a control
- character. (i.e. ^n is control-n)
-
- The '<>' symbols surrounding letters indicate that this is the single
- key denoted by the contents of the brackets. (i.e. <TAB> refers to
- the 'TAB' key)
-
- Some functions can be reached from more than one key.
-
- Previous Users Note !
- ---------------------
-
- The assignment of some keys has been changed. In particular the key
- to post an article is now 'w' (for write). The keys used for marking
- of articles / threads as read have also changed significantly !
