You can open a folder either from within nn or from the Unix prompt.
To begin, type one of the following:

  Prompt          Type
  ======          ====
  <Unix prompt>   nn SPC (but *not* RET)
  <within NN>     G

Followed by:

  Type                       To open folder in...
  ====                       ====================
  +FolderName                your folder directory
  +relative/path/FolderName  directory under your folder directory
  ~/FolderName               your home directory
  ~/relative/path/FolderName directory under your home directory
  FolderName                 current directory
  relative/path/FolderName   directory under current directory
  /full/path/FolderName      specified full path


For example, I use the following to read the inet-marketing mailing
list:

  nn +inet-marketing

You can also use your mailer to read your news folders (as long as
nn's mail-format variable is set).  Here are some mailer commands for
opening up a folder.

  pine -if FolderName
  elm -f =FolderName
  mail -f FolderName

NOTE: These mailer commands work if `FolderName' is in the default
folder directory for the mailer.
