   What manual.  I have no manual.

   What do you suggest I read that is not dry and covers what I
   need to know?

RTM (and RTFM) refer to any docs (online or otherwise) that are
available.  Such as: the man page (tr. to VMS: the HELP file entry).
Your newsadmin.  The person who introduced you to VNEWS.  Try typing ?
or h or help at the prompt.  I hope that if none of the above help,
someone who knows VNEWS notices that your header says you are using
it.  But you should mention it explicitly, since not everybody reads
headers.

If you can't find any specific help, try the following:

SYS$LOGIN:.SIGNATURE
SYS$LOGIN:.SIG
SYS$LOGIN:NEWS.SIG
SYS$LOGIN:VNEWS.SIG

and others along the same pattern.  Without TFM for VNEWS, I'm just
guessing.

He currently is running Dos 4.0, Frontdoor, Squish, and Maximus 2.01 BBS        software.  I know there are some public access "BBSs", but the more I read about them, the more confused I get.  Could someone please post a primer on getting  connected to USENET and possibly INTERNET?  I would appreciate a quick response as I am about to loose my USENET connection is about 4 days.  ICK! ACK!

Not a "newuser" but this is a good place to ask this, IMO.

I have noticed in many groups, from many different
people/sites, and I was reading news at different sites,
that quite often articles have _two_ identical .sigs!

What causes this?  Is there a bug/feature/virus somewhere?

Will someone send out a broadcast message informing everyone
what to check for and how to stop this?

The worst part is in the followups when the duplicate .sig
gets included and re-included, ad nauseum, and the info
to noise ratio gets really poor!

many more non-responses) when I've sent a note similar to this:

  If you have no need for testing a particular discussion group, please
  confine your tests to the groups created for them: misc.test and
  alt.test (and several regional groups).  These groups have auto-
  replyers which send you mail when your post arrives, giving you an
  idea of its propagation.  Also, posting in these test groups does
  not interrupt discussions.

  Thanks.

It depends on my mood and how many test messages I've managed not to
avoid.  I have attempted to be informative without being rude, but
much of the response is in the mind of the reader.  I apologize for
any rudeness, but not for attempting to steer test messages out of
discussion/question groups.

I don't believe I'm the only one doing this, so this is another
reason I don't reply to all tests.

My best guess: shut down due to use of non-existant domains and other forgeries,
hyper-crosspostings, and assorted abuse of the ucbvax mail-to-news gateway by
the entities that call themselves Hasan Mutlu. ( among other names )

Hi,
I use America On-Line which is a pay/hour service (about $10/hr prime time,
$5/hr off prime time, after 6:00pm local weekdays). It has a very nice
gateway to Internet for E-Mail only. Can't view the newsgroups, etc. and
they have requested that you not "subscribe" as the downloading traffic
would bring the service to its knees. There are sometime delays of a few
days, sometimes it goes through almost immediately. Traffic load I suppose.
I'd love to be able to log on from home, but...

I have a MAC but AOL also has software for DOS machines. It's a nice service
with a wide variety of interest areas including education. On-line classes!
Very straight forward and user friendly. At home I don't want to have to
think too much! ;-) Standard disclaimer: I just like to use it.

If you'd like more information or contact information, please E-mail I only
read this newsgroup occasionally.

This is --excellent advice--.  I would add that many sites also have a
group called alt.test which is also widely distibuted and a good group
for test messages.

There are few better ways of ensuring you will receive a torrent of
"hate email" or "flames" than to post test messages into discussion or
Q&A groups.  Posting test messages to test groups reduces the likelihood
of this happenning - it also has other benefits.

If you post a test message to a non-test group, and don't sufficiently
annoy one of its readers that they flame you, you have little or no idea
of whether or not you message is actually propagating beyond your site -
you may be doing soemthing wrong, such that --only-- readers local to
your site can see your message.  If you are wondering whether your posts
are "getting out", the test groups are a good way to check.  I recently
posted test messages to alt.test and misc.test and received 23 replies
from 16 different auto-responders.  That is, there are at least 16 sites
around the world (as far-flung as Australia, Israel, Switzerland, Canada
France, and the US) where the news systems are set up to automatically
reply by email to items posted into alt.test and/or misc.test.

Another point is that some users may be on systems that don't HAVE the man
pages.  Not every site has x gigs of space, and man pages are "optional"
as far as many admins are concerned.

I like it. An n.n.q. FAQ... but how do you address the vast differences in
various newsreaders/systems?  How to reply under trn is no good to someone
using tin.  How to post under tin is no good to someone that only has read-
news and pnews.

How much good will this FAQ do someone on the system I get news on, which runs
SCO, if it looks at things from the VMS point of view, or vice versa?  I think
a comprehensive list would be a bit much to ask, and a bit much to post...
