A short(!) extract from the tin manual follows; Note the highly
misleading use of the word "easy" in the description, I rest my case:-)

DESCRIPTION
tin is a full-screen easy to use Usenet newsreader. It can
read news locally (i.e., /var/spool/news) or remotely
(rtin or tin -r option) via a NNTP (Network News Transport
Protocol) server. It will automatically utilize NOV (News
OVerview) style index files if available locally or via
the NNTP XOVER command.
tin has four separate levels of operation: Group selection
level, Group level, Thread level and Article level. Use
the `h' (help) command to view a list of the commands
available at a particular level.
On startup tin will show a list of the newsgroups found in
$HOME/.newsrc. An arrow '->' or highlighted bar will point
to the first newsgroup. Move to a group by using the ter
minal arrow keys (terminal dependent) or `j' and `k'. Use
PgUp/PgDn (terminal dependent) or Ctrl-U and Ctrl-D to
page up/down. Enter a newsgroup by pressing <RETURN>.
The <TAB> key enters the next newsgroup with unread arti
cles.
