I'm in a very bad situation: Asmodeus' lair, Yeenoghu went after me,
but as I've no free action, he paralizes me and hits up 90% of my HP
next turn I'm dead.
I'm free again, but confused, and I must escape immediatly: can I
branchport with the Eye in one turn, from Asmodeus' lair?
Thank you!

OK, it's even worse: I tried this in wizard mode (first time I try this mode), and it worked, even confused, from azmodeus' lair... cool I thought! Here I go on the server, do it, and yes it works, but Yeenoghu came
with me! :-(
and I'm in Sokoban :~-S ...
without branchporting anymore...
but still alive, not for long I guess...

Saved! Managed to quaff full healing, then jump, then dig...
Now Yeenoghu is stuck in Sokoban, but I guess he can still be invoked
later on, we'll see.
I'm quickly going to polymorph rings to try & get a free action ring!

[Please don't top-post.]
Upthread you've written about having/losing ~100 HP; this is a very
low health value for Gehennom. I'd try to fix that before continuing.
[Please don't top-post.]
Sorry, I don't understand: what do you mean by top-post?
I'm using slrn and just type 'P' to post as I don't know any other way?
If it's a new topic, I cannot followup a previous post?

Ah? OK, I guess I should use nurses (but they're rare and it's super
slow), and potions of full healing and gain level. Is there any other
way?
I thought 110HP would be enough, as with AC-30 not many monsters harm
me a lot - apart from major daemons of course.

Before I try (as a non-native speaker) to explain by own words I better
quote some articles...

Thanks, as I understand it, it means that you first saw my last message,
and below it my second and at last my first, which, I agree, is not
nice.
What are you doing later today?Lunch at the Italian.At noon.I'll join you. When are you leaving?
But all I did was just reply to my own message, which creates a
"thread", and then, it should be the job of the news reader to order
messages anti-chronologically by thread; isn't it?
Actually, that's what slrn is doing, and in my terminal, I see
every thread with the first message at the top, and when unrolling,
the second, and so on.
But I indeed understand that if a newsreader does not do that, then it's really annoying. What should have I done? (honest question)
third post (second follow-up)
second post (first follow-up)
first post
... Thinking about it, may be I should have replied *below* the quoting
of the previous message, and not before, as I do it here; OK, makes sense!
It's weird that after spending so many years doing computer science, I
only understand now this issue; (or maybe I forgot it when news readers started sorting threads).
OK, thanks. I'll pay attention.

I'm not sure what you mean by "sorting threads". I started using 'nn'
(also a text-oriented plain newsreader with vi-editing) in the 1990's
(later 'tin' and other tools) and posts were always organized/"sorted"
in threads.

This is misconception. slrn isn't GUI, doesn't have it's own editor for message composition.
Top/bottom/inline posting styles refers to the text order inside any
single message body and not to the appearance of several messages that
belong to the same thread.
In such a scenario, top-posting (rarely: bottom posting) is common.
In addition to the whole content of all earlier mails, a user may
copy parts of earlier mail texts as citation into the current answer
(= inline quotation).

This is misconception. slrn isn't GUI, doesn't have it's own editor for message composition. I dare to speculate none ncurses news-client have
such feature (because -- unix-way?).
SLRN_EDITOR
The editor to start for editing articles. If this
variable is unset, slrn subsequently looks at
$SLANG_EDITOR, $EDITOR and $VISUAL.
However, in FTN world clients (they are called echo-processors over
there) provide such heresy. But those are rooted in DOS, different
origin.
Didn't know "nn" or "tin"; but it's getting hard to find a good TUI tool
with vim-like commands.
For reddit, I'm using "tuir" for instance. By the way, there's also an
active reddit group about nethack, but usenet has more guarantees to
last long... :-)

But I guess it's still better like that than a client that forces us
to act in a given way.

What means FTN? And what is an heresy? (I'm clearly part of the
unix-world, and don't know anything about the Micro$oft world).
