        !            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:
