Or just type 'trn'.  If you don't have it in your path, you can find
it as /usr/local/bin/trn.

It works exactly like rn, and you can use standard rn keys with it.
The difference comes when you enter a new newsgroup.  In rn you'd
normally press '=' or Space to see a list of all unread articles;
in trn you press '+' or Space.

You'll then see articles organized by subject.  Press the letter to
the left of a subject to select it for reading, then press Shift-D
when you've selected all the threads you want to browse on this
screen.

Once you've gotten the hang of it, you won't want to go back to rn,
honest!  It lets you PLOW through news at incredible speeds.  :)
