I'm having trouble starting slrn at the command prompt. I'm can't start
slrn without the -h option.

slrn tells me that I have to set the NNTPSERVER environment variable to my
sever name - but I don't know how to do that. It gives an example, but I
don't understand the example. The example is (csh): setenv NTTPSERVER
my.news.server

I'm using slrn on a stand alone machine using RedHat Linux 5.2. I'm using
leafnode so that I can use slrn as an offline newsreader, I think my server
name should be localhost. That works if I use the following command to
launch slrn. $slrn -f localhost

Can anybody tell me how to set the environment variable?

Steve
