trn-4.0-test77

[N.M. M. <nm...@ca...>]

I have had to change news server, so needed to upgrade from trn 3.6 and use
authentication.  I have managed to get it going, but can't resolve the
following problems:

    1) No matter what I do, it will not start in rn mode, whereas it used 
to. I have to remember to type Q, ESC, + or whatever initially. That's a 
pain. I do not want threading, curses or termcap, ever.

[ It starts like:
    < various lines of output, and some blank lines >
    -- Select a newsgroup (natural order) -- All [Z>] --
]

    2) Sometimes, it hangs loading the overview (or possibly just takes so
long that I give up).  The next attempt usually works.  I might not have
selected the optimal parameters, of course.  I do not want any features
beyond pure line-mode rn.

Any ideas on these?
