Ah, but ^H A news show you:

 news-post-news		      
   Function: Edit a new USENET news article to be posted.
 postnews		      
   Function: Edit a new USENET news article to be posted.
 rnews			      
   Function: Read USENET news for groups for which you are a member and add or
 sendnews		      
   Function: Edit a new USENET news article to be posted.
 view-emacs-news		      C-h n, C-h C-n
   Function: Display info on recent changes to Emacs.

In case ^H A is mysterious, ^H^H^H shows you:

 You have typed C-h, the help character.  Type a Help option:

 A  command-apropos.   Give a substring, and see a list of commands
	       (functions interactively callable) that contain
	       that substring.  See also the  apropos  command.
 ...

Lesson: try to give the online help a little chance before giving up
and worrying the net about something.
