\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.
