X VERSION, RELEASE, and PATCH LEVEL MACHINE:
    whatever is running on athena-x dialup

CLIENT MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:
    athena-x dialup machine
    my machine, an RS/6000 running AIX 3.1.5 is telneted to athena-x,
    with DISPLAY setenv'ed back to my own display.

SYNOPSIS:
    trouble scrolling the top portion of the window containing the list
    of articles. 

DESCRIPTION:
    clicking in the scrollbar on the left can scroll the list of
    articles forward but cannot scroll a page backwards.
    space and 'b' do scrolling on the article text (what other magic
    characters are there to avoid hunting for buttons), but what keys
    or buttons scroll the top area with the list of articles.
    how do i scroll back to the first article in the list?
    i presume that the list-old button lists all articles, even those
    read in previous sessions?

    maybe i am just missing some documentation, but i could not do
    man xrn, nor could i find a help button. 

thanks.
