- Welcome to NetNews/CD. There are more options to cdrn 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:
-
- * cdrn is an extention of trn which is an extension of rn.
- * All the threaded features of trn have been enabled as the defaults.
- * 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.
- * So that cdrn news reading will not interfere with your daily non-CD news
- reading, cdrn uses a directory in your home directory, .news by default,
- where it creates a subdirectory for each issue of NetNews/CD. The .rn*
- files and the .newsrc are stored in the issue directory. If you wish to
- edit a .newsrc file for a NetNews/CD issue, please do so in the appropriate
- directory. If you are not sure which issue's CD you have mounted, the file
- /cdrom/issue.vol contains the issue directory information directory.

- This message comes from /cdrom/lib/trn/newsnews, and will only appear once.
