Top Document: Getting Started with News and the NN News Reader

... 2.1 Starting nn
To start nn simply type `nn' at your Unix prompt. The first time
(and only the first time) you run nn you will get a welcome message.
If you want to see this message again you can access it by ???.
[If you know how to view the welcome message after your first time,
please let me know.]
You are presented with a menu of articles ("menu mode") in the first
newsgroup in your subscription list. If you have not set up a
subscription list, then nn uses whatever your system administrator
has set up as the default subscription list. Your default first
newsgroup might be:
* Whatever is alphabetically first in the list of all newsgroup
that your host receives (sometimes this is alt.2600)
* host.announce (where `host' is replaced with the name of your
provider, e.g., `halcyon.announce', `best.announce', etc.)
