APNEWS(1)

NAME
apnews - present recent AP wire stories

SYNOPSIS
apnews

DESCRIPTION
Apnews is designed to skim the current news on the AP wire. On a video terminal, it presents a top half screen of twenty story slugs (two-word labels); typing the number of one of these slugs displays the first ten lines of the story on the bottom half screen. Successive ten line pages of the story are obtained by hitting carriage return. Successive twenty slug top half pages are obtained by hitting m (if you aren't reading a story, carriage return will do). You can return to the current top half page with ., or to the first top half page with t.

If you type s keywords a search through today's stories is done for stories with those words; a menu of such stories is presented. You can use the story now being displayed as a source of keywords by typing y.

To get a copy of a story you are reading in your own file space, type c xyz which will copy the story to file or directory xyz (appending if xyz is a file and not empty). The command '?' prints some help.
