The Chicago area weather system has posted 10,346 articles but only 6 of them were present when I isolated this problem. As soon as the first article header was displayed, I hit "q" to exit. On every occasion, the screen would clear but no prompt would return. SIGINT does nothing, but SIGQUIT will cause a core dump on a memory fault. I finally got it to work with a "vnews -n chi.weather" and I went all the way through the six articles. It exited correctly. Randy King AT&T-CP@MG ihnp4!mgweed!rjk
