Options while invoking rn

rn has a set of options which you can use to tailor the way in which rn works to your liking. Some of the options that you can use are:

`-d directory_name'

sets the default save directory to directory_name. (the default is `~/News')

`-e'

causes each page of the article to be started at the top of the screen.

`-M'

forces mailbox format in creating new save files. (this can be used to mail files to other people)

`-S'

causes rn to enter the subject search mode automatically. (this speeds up reading and searching for articles in a newsgroup)

This section on rn is just an annotated description of the features that will enable you to use rn comfortably. there are a lot of other options which you will want to use and for a detailed description of these do a man rn at the command line.
