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.)
