                                         Currently we get our news via
   UUCP from uunet.  We don't have NNTP (I really don't know what it is).
   How can I use Gnus to do this or should I use Gnews or does Gnews
   have the same problem.  I am no lisp hacker.  If you can tell me
   exactly what variables to change, I would be grateful. 

In GNUS, set the variable gnus-nntp-service to nil and the variable
gnus-nntp-server to your local host name in .emacs as follows:

	(setq gnus-nntp-service nil)
	(setq gnus-nntp-server "unh")	;Right?

							  I currently
   use vnews to read news. I tried to use the rnews functions within
   Emacs but it was missing the "pretend I didn't read this article" command
   which I use heavily.

GNUS has commands for marking articles as unread, which you expect.
