[yncuq?] Read them: q - Quit c - Catch up (marks as read) u - Unsubscribe n - Skip to next group y - Yes, read group (default) ? - Help (note, hitting enter here assumes a y for yes) THEN - misc: (1 of 65) [rpnchq?] Read it? q - Quit this newsgroup c - Catch up (marks as read) p - Goto previous article n - Goto next article h - Next headers r - Read article (default) ? - Help So, no, those letters aren't gibberish - they actually mean something.
