Simple News Command Keys
========================
General.
--------
All command letters are case sensitive. The upper case and lower case
letters can and do perform different commands. (i.e. 'n' and 'N'
perform different functions)
The '^' symbol before a letter indicates that the <control> key
should be pressed with this letter. In other words this is a control
character. (i.e. ^n is control-n)
The '<>' symbols surrounding letters indicate that this is the single
key denoted by the contents of the brackets. (i.e. <TAB> refers to
the 'TAB' key)
Some functions can be reached from more than one key.
Previous Users Note !
---------------------
The assignment of some keys has been changed. In particular the key
to post an article is now 'w' (for write). The keys used for marking
of articles / threads as read have also changed significantly !
