One of the greatest things about nn is its customizability.  It has
over 180 variables which you can use to change the way information is
presented and the way commands work.  You can also remap your
keyboard, create macros to do just about anything, and create
customizations that are specific to only some newsgroups.

This section describes suggestions for customizing the following files.

 File                Purpose
 ====                =======
 .login or .profile  Set your EDITOR environment variable
 .newsrc             Track newsgroup subscriptions & articles read
 seq                 Specify newsgroup sequence, default save files, and
                     more
 init                Variable settings, key mappings, macros, command 
                     groups, and more
 init.*              Files loaded by init (these can actually be named
                     anything)
 kill                Auto kill & select commands

The .login, .profile, and .newsrc files are in your home directory (~), and
all the rest reside in your ~/.nn directory.
