[comp.emacs] VN help???

I asked before for some help with vn.el, but it was ignored.  I was
wondering if anyone would help me if I stated the problem more
clearely with some added info.

The basic problem is that you can't use the 'f' command while
reading news to reply to an article.  Since VN uses some functions
from rnewspost.el, rnewspost needs to have the variables set as it
would have been from rn.el.  However, I noticed that 
news-current-news-group wasn't set when executing news-reply which
will cause the function to explode.

Since noone helped me initially, I had to relearn some aspects of
lisp and totally learn the debugger.  Thanks a biggie!  <- serious

Anyways, forget the initial stuff, what I want to know is has anyone
gotten vn.el to work???  I am using version 10.40.4 of GNU Emacs
on a Berkeley 4.3 system. 

Can the author reply?  Where is news-current-news-group set if 
news-reply is executed from vn???
