This is so trivial I'm not sure I should post it but if it's as handy to
someone else as it was to me then I'll take the other flames.
Being a SysV type I became accustomed to pg which uses Return for the next
page as opposed to more which uses a space. Since pg is my mail pager I
was always hitting space when pg wanted Return and vice versa in rn. Today
I lost my patience and changed it in rn. If you replace case '\n': on line
704 in art.c with case ' ': and case ' ': on line 829 with case '\n': you
will reverse the meaning of the two characters.
Sorry if this is so obvious or if I'm the fiftieth person to "discover" it
but like I said, if it helps someone else...

It was unnecessary for you to modify the code to get the effect you wanted. As gently as possible, I'd like to suggest that people actually understand a program before they attempt to change it. (If I were not interested in gentleness, I'd simply say "RTFM"). I repeatedly see people ask for patches or code changes to make news 2.11 or rn do things they do already. Both programs have a great deal of flexibility. -- - Joe Buck {uunet,ucbvax,pyramid,<smart-site>}!epimass.epi.com!jbuck jbuck@epimass.epi.com Old Arpa mailers: jbuck%epimass.epi.com@uunet.uu.net If you leave your fate in the hands of the gods, don't be surprised if they have a few grins at your expense. - Tom Robbins
