[comp.mail.misc] Basic NEWS help sought for Mac

kpleech@amherst.bitnet (02/22/90)

HI there.
I'm new to this thing, but it's cool. 

Can anyone tell me how to do these things on a Mac SE?

1) do replies to messages that are posted and not mailed to the person
	who wrote the original, and
2) Print screens?

Someone showed me how to do these, but it was on an IBM and I think
that's different. I need Mac help.

Thanks,
Kev.

This has nothing to do with the Mac SE, but with the news software
running on your host... get the docs for the news s/w or ask your
system help human...

Depends on a lot of things...  command-shift-4 might work if you have
an imagewriter II, otherwise it depends on the terminal s/w you are
running...
