You have using a default .newsrc. If you subscribe to multiple News servers, >you need a separate .newsrc for each. I distinguish among them following
the pine naming convention, which merely gives me the option of using
alpine as a newsreader.
In ~/.trn/access, you put them in order. The file is self documenting.
Just edit it.

trn 4 doesn't have a man page with full documentation. This is why it's >forever going to remain in test mode.

OK, thanks. What I'm most concerned with is: Did hitting ^N do anything
bad?

I have a ~/.trn directory, but it is empty. So, I would have to create
that file from scratch (if I needed it, which, apparently, I don't).

OK, thanks. What I'm most concerned with is: Did hitting ^N do anything
bad? One of the things I've gotten used to with trn over the years is that almost all keys do something, and often that something isn't good.
So, you have to be careful not to hit random keys...
Anyway, I only have one newsserver, so I guess none of this applies to me.
