PARAMETERS
	When O is invoked without parameters, a selection menu with all
	newsgroups is opened.

	When O is invoked with the parameter "-v", it prints its version
	number and exits.

	When O is invoked with a newsgroup or fold name, a selection menu
	with all messages in that group resp. all newsgroups in that fold
	is opened.
	The following special newsgroup names may be used:
		m	Mail.XXXX
		a	Mail.XXXX.archive
		o	Outbound
	In these cases, XXXX is the value of the environment variable LOGNAME
	or, if LOGNAME is not set, "root".

	When O is invoked with an e-mail adress, it starts up to write a
	mail to that adress and terminates after the mail is written.
	Alias names may be used, but they must be followed by an @ sign
	to prevent them from being mistaken for a newsgroup name.

	For example, "o.prg wr" will open newsgroup or fold "wr", and
	"o.prg wr@" will write a mail to adress "wr" (which might be an
	alias defined in the alias file).
