.TH CN 1 "Release 2.3" .SH NAME cn - ChooseNews II program: choose newsgroups based on users' areas of interest. .SH SYNOPSIS .ta 8n \fBcn\fP .br .SH DESCRIPTION The .I cn program allows a user to subscribe to newsgroups based on their specific topics of interest. .SH OPTIONS Currently, there are no options associated with the program. .PP .SH INTERACTIONS The program is designed to be easy-to-use. The user is prompted for a topic of interest, and will then be shown newsgroups corresponding to that topic of interest, along with a very brief description of that newgroup. The user will then be given the option of subscribing to those newsgroups or quitting and returning to the topic prompt. The user is also given the option to subscribe to all the newsgroups of the topic they selected. If the user types `help' instead of a topic, the user will be placed at the help menu. Here the user can list out all the newsgroups by their relevant prefixes, or receive information on what each prefix means. The user can also select `u' for unsubscribe. Here the user can unsubscribe from specific newsgroups they are subscribed to. Or, if the user wishes, they can select `a' to unsubscribe from all newsgroups. A final option is to select `l' to provide the user with a sorted list of all the newsgroups they are subscribed to. Hitting return will exit this portion of the program and return the user to the topic prompt. Hitting return at the topic prompt will exit the program. .SH "SEE ALSO" choosenews(1), rn(1), vn(1), tin(1). .SH DIAGNOSTICS Punctuation, spaces, numbers, or symbols in the topic may give strange results. .SH COPYRIGHT Copyright 1993, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. .br .SH AUTHOR Scott A.
