How do I use nntpget to view usenet entries?
I did a apropos search in BASH for usenet and found nntpget, however I have two problems:
1) the man page just confused me!
2) if I run nntpget without any arguments (I expected an error because of this) BASH tells me
nntpget: command not found
this seams odd as apropos found the program!
I'm using FC5, if that matters.
Anyone know how to get this running?

Are you sure you want to be using a low-level tool like nntpget? If you are looking for a text-based news reader, have you considered friendlier tools such as slrn or tin, to name a couple?
On my FC3 system, nntpget is located in /usr/lib/news/bin/nntpget.
