The Tin Newsreader Program Tin is a full-screen easy to use Netnews reader. To start tin, type 'tin' at your command line prompt and press Return. When tin starts it will create a file called .newsrc in your login directory. The .newsrc file will contain a list of the available newsgroups.
Help is available within tin by typing the command 'h'.
A mini help menu is also displayed at the bottom of the page. For more information on tin, see the tin man page.
