- Welcome to trn. There are more options to trn 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:
-
- * Trn is an extension of rn. Where possible, the command syntax is the same.
- * To access all the new features, specify the options -x and -X. These
- options MAY be on by default, but it won't hurt to be redundant.
- * Trn 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, you may type 'h' for help. There are many different help
- menus, depending on the context. Also, 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 /usr/trn/lib/newsnews, and will only
- appear once. If your news administrator puts a new message in here, it
- will be displayed for you the first time you run trn after the change.
