   SINNER was all like, you know, and then said something like a ...   
      
   [...]   
   >>> If you are using leafnode, let slrn connect to leafnode instead of to   
   >>> the spool directly.   
   >>    
   >> Didn't see an option for that, only nntp and spool.   
   >    
   > Right and leafnode is your NNTP so slrn should connect to 127.0.0.1 if   
   > leafnode is running.    
      
   Tried:   
   % This can either be set to "nntp" (read online) or "spool" (use local spool)   
   set server_object "127.0.0.1"    
      
    and also    
      
   set server_object "localhost"   
      
     and received   
      
   "Server object '127.0.0.1' is not supported."   
      
   "Server object 'localhost' is not supported."   
      
    See below for more on that (above).   
      
   > What editor do you use?   
      
   I use gvim for slrn but prefer nano. Haven't the time to set up nano and   
   may not since gvim is nice.   
      
   >    
   > see if this helps:

   Printed that out for later ... enough to do just now . Yet, thank you.   
       
   > add to ~/.bashrc   
   >    
   > export NNTPSERVER=SERVER.NAME.HERE   
      
   Set to "localhost" and no errors reported - thank you!   
      
   > and add the server name to your hosts file with 127.0.0.1 as the IP   
      
   Already in place - did that for leafnode.   
      
   > Should be a DOC called First Steps in the slrn doc directory.   
      
   Didn't locate it, but got and printed it from   
   http://slrn.sourceforge.net/docs/FIRST_STEPS; which is pretty much all   
   I've done except to set up vim with max chars of 72 (tw=72') and   
   spelling. Seems from the First Steps document I have the server correctly   
   arranged, "(or even localhost, if you are running a local server like   
   Leafnode)".   
      
   Another thing I need to learn better is scoring (heh, heh ... he said   
   "scoring") and having seen/unseen but being followed articles remain   
   visible. Lastly, I hope , making doing a new score easier to do - that   
   is in fewer steps ... macro?
