No, but i've got knews now to the point where i can use it `one-hand' (i.e. with almost the same keyboard shortcuts as trn). Still, the X11 interface often provides for more whistles and bells once i need it, like getting a very quick overview of a newsgroup by using the scrollbar. And, compared to other X11 implementations like xrn or (ick!) Netcrap, it's a very decent newsreader. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
