News:  How to read halcyon.announce from a Shell account


Q.  I know about 8 Unix commands, none of which helps me to view
    halcyon.announce.  How is it done? 

A.  If you have a Shell account, you can read halcyon.announce by using one
    of the newsreaders that is available through the menu interface.

       - If you're at the shell prompt, type:

              menu

         ...to get to the menu.  

       - From the menu, type 'N' to select News Readers.
     
         If you are reading news for the first time, pick option 9, 'Build
         a new .newsrc file with basic groups pre-selected'.  After a wait
         of a minute or more, you'll again be able to choose from the
         available newsreaders.

         Choose '4' to select the tin threaded newsreader.  After another 
         short wait, you'll see tin's Group Selection screen.  Use the down-
         arrow key to move the cursor bar to 'halcyon.announce', then press
         ENTER.

       - When the list of articles is displayed, use the arrow keys and the
         commands listed at the bottom of the screen to select and read
         articles.

       - When you are done, press 'q' to return to the Group Selection
         screen, then 'q' again, followed by ENTER to return to the
         Newsreader selection screen.
