I need some help.
Being a rather new user on the system, I thought I would
peruse the network news facility to see what groups there
are out there. To do this I said:
vnews -n net
and happily started through a wildcard search of net.{whatever}
news. When I came across net.games.trivia and gave the ol' N
command to vnews to find the next group, I was sent off into
hyperspace.
The same thing seems to happen with readnews. Is there some way
around this problem, or is there another way of finding out what
groups are available to get news from?
Thanks in advance,
