Kappesser <Peter_Kappesser@promail.com>, Tim Pierce <twpierce@quads.uchicago.edu> Steven King, Software Archaeologist <king@wildebeest.cig.mot.com> At the newsgroup selection level just type: /string and it will prompt you with the next newsgroup in your .newsrc that contains "string", which can contain wildcards like filenames. So, "/long*name" would go to the first group that matched that pattern. Unlike filename globbing, the pattern is not anchored: e.g., "/fur" will find "alt.fan.furry." You may use ^ or $ to anchor to the front or back of the string, such as "/^misc" to find a group in the misc.* hierarchy but avoid any *.*.misc groups. If you want to read several groups matching the same pattern, use the "o" command, e.g. "o ^rec" to see only the rec.* groups in your .newsrc. To get back to normal operation and read other groups, type "o" alone; the restriction is automatically removed when there are no articles left in the matching set of newsgroups. Trn also has a "fuzzy" newsgroup name-matching option. If you can remember something close to the newsgroup name, trn will figure it out. This is activated with the -G option in your .trninit file, or set from the command line with &-G. It does make name matching a bit slower, so it's not on by default.
