                      8: Welcome to rn.  There are more options to rn than you want to think about, so
                      9: we won't list them here.  If you want to find out about them, read the manual
                     10: page(s).  There are some important things to remember, though:
                     11: 
                     12:   * Rn is not a modified readnews.  Don't expect the commands to be identical.
                     13:   * Rn runs in cbreak mode.  This means you don't have to type carriage return
                     14:     on single character commands.  (There are some multi-character commands.)
                     15:   * At ANY prompt in rn, you may type 'h' for help.  There are many different
                     16:     help menus, depending on where you are in rn.  Typing <esc>h in the
                     17:     middle of a multi-character command will list escape substitutions.
                     18:   * Typing a space to any prompt means to do the normal thing.  You could
                     19:     spend all day reading news and never hit anything but the space bar.
                     20: 
                     21: This particular message comes from $rnlib/newsnews.  You will only
                     22: see it once.  You news administrator should feel free to substitute his or
                     23: her own message whenever something new happens to rn, and then the file
                     24: will again be displayed, just once for each person.
