     slrn - An easy to use NNTP based newsreader.

SYNOPSIS
     slrn [ -n ] [ -h nntp-server-name ] [ -f newsrc-file ] [   -
     create ] [ -C ] [ -help ]

2 DESCRIPTION
     slrn is an easy to use but powerful NNTP  based  newsreader.
     It relies extensively on the S-Lang programmer's library for
     many of its features.

     If no server is specified on the command line using the  - h
     option,  the  server specified by the NNTPSERVER environment
     variable will be used.  The -f option specifies which newsrc
     file  should be used.  If none is specified, a default value
     of JNEWS.RC will be used. This value can be set on a  server
     by server basis using the SLRN.RC initialization file.

     The -create option should be used the  first  time  slrn  is
     used  for  a particular server. This causes slrn to read the
     entire list of groups available at the server and place them
     in  the  selected  newsrc  file.   If the NNTP connection is
     slow, this process may take several  minutes.   Fortunately,
     this happens only when the -create flag is used.

     If -C is specified on the  command  line,  the  terminal  is
     assumed to support colors.  Colors may be specified by using
     the initialization file.  If the -n option  is  present,  no
     new  newsgroups  will  be checked for.  This may result in a
     faster startup.


2 BASIC_OPERATION
     Using slrn is simple.  For many,  simply  typing  slrn  will
     connect  to  a  news server. After starting, slrn checks for
     the existence of new newsgroups and automatically subscribes
     to  them.  Then  after  new  news is checked, slrn goes into
     ``full screen'' mode at which point the user can unsubscribe
     to  one  or  more  groups. slrn will display a list of news-
     groups that looks like:

     Here the middle column shows the name of a newsgroup and the
     left  column  shows  the  number  of  unread articles in the
     group. The right column shows the range of articles  present
     on  the  server.  Note  the  presence of the -> in the first
     column on the `sci.research.postdoc' line.  This  symbol  is
     used by slrn as a pointer to indicate the currently selected
     line. It may be moved up and down by using the  arrow  keys.
     Pressing  the  RETURN key or the SPACEBAR at this point will
     select the `sci.research.postdoc' group. A new  screen  will
     appear showing something like:

     ->-        703        (P)      Lecturer       in       Comp.
     dumontet@nuri.inria.fr (dumo
       -         704         Research       &        Developnment
     dumontet@nuri.inria.fr (dumo
       -        705        Re:      Example      of      proposal
     shinbrot@bart.chem-eng.nwu.e

     Here, each line consists of four fields and possibly the - >
     cursor.  The  first  field indicates whether the article has
     been read or not. A hyphen ( - ) in the  first  field  indi-
     cates  that  the  article has not been read.  Since a hyphen
     appears in the first field in all three of the lines  above,
     none  of  the articles have been marked as read. A d in this
     field indicates that an article has been read. The currently
     selected  article can be changed from the read to the unread
     state by pressing the u key. The d key may be used  to  mark
     the  article as read without actually reading it.  The c key
     may be used to mark all the articles as read (Actually  this
     is  the  preferred way to use the newsreader: scan the arti-
     cles by eye looking for something  interesting  then  before
     moving  on to next newsgroup, press `c' to mark all articles
     as read).

     The second field displays the server number of the  article.
     The  third  and fourth fields contain the subject and author
     of the article, respectively.

     Pressing the SPACEBAR or the RETURN key will create a second
     window  and  display  the contents of the currently selected
     article. The screen will now consist  of  two  windows  -  a
     large  one  and  a small one. The large window, known as the
     article window, will contain the currently selected  article
     and the small one, known as the summary window, will contain
     the list of articles as shown above. The space  bar  may  be
     used  the  scroll  the article forward and the DELETE key or
     the `B' key may be used to scroll it backward.  The  UP/DOWN
     arrow  keys  simply  move  the   - > cursor from one line to
     another in the summary window. To hide the  article  window,
     press  the  h  key.This will zoom the summary window to full
     screen.

     The f key may be used to post a followup  to  the  currently
     selected article. To return to the list of Newsgroups, press
     the Q key to leave this mode.

2 ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES
     slrn uses the following list of environment variables:

     NNTPSERVER  NNTP Server to connect to if none specified when
                 slrn is started.

     EDITOR
     SLANG_EDITOR
                 Editor to use when composing messages. The  '%s'
                 and  `%d'  format  descriptors  may  be  used to
                 specify the filename  and  line  number  respec-
                 tively.  For  example,  if `jed' is your editor,
                 then     you     can    use    something   like:   
                 DEFINE SLANG_EDITOR "jed  %s  - g  %d "  in your
                 LOGIN.COM file.  SLANG_EDITOR  is  the  prefered
                 environment variable since all  S-Lang  applica-
                 tions  that use an editor look for this variable
                 and understand this syntax.

     REPLYTO     Address  to  be  inserted  into  the  `Reply-To'
                 field.

     ORGANIZATION
                 String to be used in the `Organization' field.

2 INITIALIZATION_FILE
     If a file called SLRN.RC is present in the users login direc-
     tory,  slrn will use it as an initialization file. This file
     can contain list of personalized keybindings as  well  as  a
     list of server -- newsrc mappings.

3 BINDING_KEYS

     To bind a key to a particular function use the syntax:

     setkey keymap function key-sequence

     The setkey function requires three arguments.The first argu-
     ment specifies the keymap to be used for the bindings. Valid
     keymaps are:  group and article. The function argument  spa-
     cifies  the  function that is executed when keys in the last
     argument are pressed. For example,

                            setkey  group  quit "x"

     indicates that if x is pressed at the group level, the  quit
     function  will  be executed. Note that although not normally
     necessary, the last argument should be  enclosed  in  double
     quotes since it may contain SPACE characters.

     The key-sequence argument can consist of several characters.
     For  example,  on  many terminals, the RIGHT arrow sends the
     three characters ESC, `[' and `C' to the terminal.  To  bind
     the RIGHT key to `select_group' function, use:

                             setkey group select_group "\e[C"

     Sometimes, it is necessary to unbind a  key  from  a  keymap
     before binding the key. For example, one cannot do:

                             setkey group quit "\e"

     to bind the ESC key  to  the  quit  function  without  first
     unsetting  it.  This is because the default bindings use the
     ESC character as the prefix character for  certain  keymaps.
     To achieve this goal, use the unsetkey function:

                              unsetkey group "\e"
                              setkey group quit "\e"

     Here the unsetkey function has been used to remove the bind-
     ing  for  the  ESC character before binding it to the `quit'
     function.  Please note that unsetting the ESC key will  also
     unset any key sequence been with the ESC key.  This includes
     most function keys.

     See the example initialization file below for  the  list  of
     functions and their meaning.

3 USING_MULTIPLE_SERVERS

     The easiest way to use multiple servers is through  the  use
     of the server command in the SLRN.RC file. This command sim-
     ple associates a server name with a newsrc file:

     server nntp-server newsrc-file

     For example, suppose that you use three servers  with  host-
     names `red.news.edu', `blue.news.edu', and `green.news.edu'.
     The the lines:

     server red.news.edu JNEWS.RC-red

     server blue.news.edu JNEWS.RC-blue

     server green.news.edu JNEWS.RC-green

     specify that the file JNEWS.RC-red is to be  used  when  the
     server red.news.edu is connected to, etc...

3 DEFINING_COLORS

     Color support is enabled when suing the  `-C'  command  line
     switch.   Use slrn "-C" to pass an upper case C.  The colors
     may be defined through the use of the `color' keyword in the
     `SLRN.RC' file.  The syntax is:

         color OBJECT-NAME FOREGROUND-COLOR BACKGROUND-COLOR

       Here, OBJECT-NAME can be any one of the following items:

         error    --  error messages
         status   --  status line attached to windows
         menu     --  Line at the top of the display (menu bar)
         group    --  newsgroup names (group mode)
         cursor   --  The --> position indicator
         author   --  Author's name in the article mode
         subject  --  Subject in the article mode
         headers  --  The lines that constitute  the  headers  of
     the article
         article  --  The body of the article (not headers)
         normal   --  anything not included above

       The foreground/background color names can be  any  of  the
     following:

         black                gray
         red                  brightred
         green                brightgreen
         brown                yellow
         blue                 brightblue
         magenta              brightmagenta
         cyan                 brightcyan
         lightgray            white

       Most terminals do not support the second group  of  colors
     for the background.


3 HIDING_QUOTED_ARTICLES

       Often articles contain quotes of previous  articles.  slrn
     is  capable of not displaying lines in an article that match
     a given regular expression.  The regular expression  may  be
     specified by putting a line of the form

          ignore_quotes  REGULAR-EXPRESSION

     in the SLRN.RC startup file.  The default regular expression
     is

          "^ ?[:>=]"

     which matches any line that begins with or without  a  space
     followed  by  either a colon, greater than sign, or an equal
     sign.

     To toggle the display of such lines on or off, press the `T'
     key when in article mode.

2 ARTICLE_SCORING
     (For a complete description of the flexibility in  the  slrn
     scorefile  system,  see  the files KILL_FAQ and score.txt in
     the slrn distribution)

     slrn incorporates a sophisticated system for  scoring  arti-
     cles.   In other newsreaders, one of slrn's scoring features
     would be called a " killfile ".  But unlike some other news-
     readers, slrn provides for a great degree of flexibility and
     the capability to mark articles in ways  other  than  merely
     killing them.

     Four levels of scoring are provided:

     -9999
          The  scored  article  is  deleted  (as  with  a  common
          killfile) and will not appear in the header window

     -1 through -9998
          The scored article appears with a " D " as in "Deleted"
          flag in the header window

     0 through 9999
          The scored article's header appears with a " !  "  flag
          to indicate importance

3 CONFIGURING_THE_SCOREFILE

     The scorefile system is disabled until you set scorefile  to
     the pathname of the file slrn should use to hold the scoring
     parameters.

     Once set, scorefile may be accessed through the E command at
     the header window, or may be edited manually.  When accessed
     with E , slrn appends a template based  upon  the  currently
     selected  article  to  the scorefile with various parameters
     taken from the article and you are placed  in  your  editor.
     To  enable  scoring,  delete  the  % comment symbol from the
     first column of the header line(s) you wish to score upon.

     The other way to configure your scorefile is by editing  the
     file  directly, with a text editor.  Here is a sample score-
     file (remember the KILL_FAQ  and  score.txt  files  are  the
     definitive references for the score system):

       [news.software.readers]

     applies  a  score  of  9999 to any subject that contains the
     string `slrn'.  The second test applies to the  `From'.   It
     says  that  any article from davis@space.mit.edu gets scores
     9999.  The third test gives a score of -9999 to any  article
     whose  subject  contains  the word `agent'.  Since tests are
     applied in order, if an article  contains  both  `slrn'  and
     `agent',  it  will  be given a score of 9999 since 9999 is a
     special score value.

     The second section is more complex.  It applies to the news-
     groups  comp.os.linux  newsgroups  and  consists of 5 tests.
     The first three are simple: -10 points are given if the sub-
     ject contains `swap', 20 if it contains SunOS, and 50 if the
     article is from someone named `Linus'.  This means  that  if
     Bill@Somewhere  writes  an  article  whose subject is `Swap,
     Swap, Swap', the article is give -10  points.   However,  if
     the Linus writes an article with the same title, it is given
     -10 + 50 = 40 points.  Note that the first test  expires  at
     the beginning of 1996.

     The fourth test kills all articles that were cross posted to
     an advocay newsgroup UNLESS they were posted by Linus.  Note
     that if a keyword begins with the `~' character, the  effect
     of the regular expression is reversed.

     The  fourth  test  serves   to   filter   out   posts   from
     someone@who.knows.where  unless  he  posts about `gizmos' in
     one of the comp.os.development newsgroups.  Again  note  the
     `~' character.

     The last test marks as important  messages  from  mentioning
     Moe  or Curly in the alt.fan.warlord newsgroup.  This demon-
     strates use of an "OR" condition in a scorefile.


2 COURTESY_COPY
     If you elect to send a courtesy copy of your followup  arti-
     cle to the original poster, you may easily do so by adding a
     "Cc:" header to the article.  Here is an example of  how  to
     send  a  courtesy  copy of a followup to John Davis' (slrn's
     author) announcement of a new slrn version:

     John will receive a copy of the followup by email  with  the
     article  text  preceded by a line of text stating that [This
     message has also been posted.]  (The text within the  brack-
     ets  may  be  customized with the SLRN.RC cc_followup_string
     parameter.)


3 MISCELLANEOUS_SETTINGS

     The SLRN.RC initialization file also supports the  following
     commands:

        signature             <signature file name>
        organization          <Your organization name>
        replyto               <Email address to be used reply to>
        quote_string          <string to  be  used  to  quote  an
     article>
        editor_command        <string used to invoke editor>
        scorefile             <score file name>


     For example,

        signature         .news-signature
        organization      "Society of Famous Outlaws"
        signature         "Billy the Kid"
        quote_string      ">"
        editor_command    "jed %s -g %d -tmp"
        scorefile         "News/Score"
