You may be pleased to know that there has been a huge amount of work
done with slrn just recently and perhaps another 'official' release
soon.

Then you have to make a scripting language that emulates the mouse,
something the Mac had or maybe still has, but which I never bothered
with when I had a Mac because the concept seemed so bizarre.

We would be happiest with the easiest and most efficient newsreader.
You would rather spend time tinkering with slrn than reading or
writing news, perhaps because you have nothing of significance to
post, and you are unable to read and understand what others have
posted.

So you tinker with command line programmes like slrn and pretend to
yourself that bash is somehow "real" linux.
