(gnus)Starting Up


Starting Gnus
*************

   If your system administrator has set things up properly, starting
Gnus and reading news is extremely easy--you just type `M-x gnus' in
your Emacs.

   If you want to start Gnus in a different frame, you can use the
command `M-x gnus-other-frame' instead.

   If things do not go smoothly at startup, you have to twiddle some
variables in your `~/.gnus' file.  This file is similar to `~/.emacs',
but is read when gnus starts.

   If you puzzle at any terms used in this manual, please refer to the
terminology section (Note: Terminology).
