This is TRN-or-NG in view mode; [Up]

While it seems WAY more powerful than NG, it is going back to un*x - Like why doesn't threading work on comp.sys.next.misc - It did a few minutes ago? - etc. Oh yeah, to post back I have to use emacs - How do I spell it...- Not hard to do, but it requires experience. I don't use spell to check my writting, I just choose a menu item. I don't know the escape sequence to do this or that... I just know there is a way of doing it. If you didn't catch it by now - I am terminal disabled. Not totally, but disabled non the less. Going to unix means that I have to know more unix in order to make it happen. It may be worth my time, but then again wimpy NG lets me do all of what I want to do without struggling over several different programs that I positively don't know how to use, not because they are difficult, but because I never really had a need to learn. (Believe me - I HAVE LEARNED) I am interested in knowing the hard way, because in the end this will save time. In the sense of ease of use and speed, it requires built-up knowledge. For me that will come with time... Perhaps it would help to avoid a command line for today. - Perhaps it would help to log into the console and try to get a days worth of work done through the shell. Just a thought -
