   I log into my shell account on my computer.   
      
   At a prompt,I type   
      
    tin -g news.panix.com   
      
   This invokes the tin newsreader program installed on my computer   
   and instructs it to connect to the remote server news.panix.com   
   where I have a different shell account,whose name it knows (same   
   as my lekno.ws account) and whose password it asks me for.   
      
   I enter that password.   
      
   My menu of subscribed newsgroups displays on the screen.   
      
   I move the cursor to alt.obituaries and hit enter/return.   
      
   The menu of message threads in alt.obituaries comes up.   
      
   I navigate to the ones I want to read.   
      
   Nothing about this is other than SIMPLE.
