My "naive user" question is not of netwide interest, so please reply by mail to
	SQUASH@MATH.BERKELEY.EDU

I currently read news in UNIX using the  rn  command.  I would *like* to read
news in EMACS.  How do I do this?

When I type
  M-x rnews

a series of messages flash by in the minibuffer.  The only one I can read says

  Prefrobnicating
and the names of many news groups flash by in the (inverse video) mode line.
Then I see in the minibuffer:
  No news is good news.

But there *IS* unread news.  If I  C-x C-z  and then type   rn  there is news
for me to read.
	Does anyone have a guess as to what I need to do to fix this problem?
