Want to read Usenet through Pine...
| 
Feb 26 20:31 UTC 1997 |
I'm trying to read Usenet through Pine. How do I do this? It seems I need
to enter a server name or something into something or the other. Help is
appreciated...

Hi there! Wow, life in this conference, amazing...
Unfortunately, this cf is more for academic questions than for technical
ones. I don't think there *is* any way to read usenet newsgroups on Grex,
through Pine or in any other way. If you want to see what has been said
about it, try !help news or !help rn to see what response you get. Good luck.

Wow! I didn't know that. Read but not reply?
I thought there used to be specific help commands which got you the relevant
commands. Changed the proceedure? Things seem to be getting easier, I guess.
Thanks.

what's the difference between the man page and the help file? I thought
that !help X got you to the manual page for X.

Valerie, I wish you were getting paid for the immense amount of remarkably
valuable work you've done. Thanks again.

Is it possible to use pine to get newsgroups, if so how do you provide a
username and password for the server to allow you to connect. I'm still
trying, but not having much luck. Thanks.

try using yer local university as a server. Netscape already
has support for news, why would they tie up a local BBS for that?

I've heard lots of bad things about dejanews about problems propogating into
them.. :/
Perhaps that's fixed now.

Dejanews is avail. without typing anything on grex. well, just lynx
anyway. The pointer is on the internet page, hot picks section. It's a new
link (thanks srw), along with cnn headline news, yahoo, mel, and
altavista. Read away!
