3 % Previously we had five input LaTeX files (booklet.tex bk-lt.tex bk-a4.tex
4 % refcard.tex gnusref.tex) and two logo files (gnuslogo-refcard.eps and
5 % gnuslogo-booklet.eps).
7 % From this LaTeX file (gnus-refcard.tex) plus a single logo (gnus-logo.eps),
8 % we can generate the refcard and the booklet version. Appropriate Makefile
9 % rules were added. This simplifies to distribute the refcard with Emacs.

133 \newcommand{\Notes}{%
136 Gnus is complex. Currently it has some 876 interactive (user-callable)
137 functions. Of these 618 are in the two major modes (Group and
138 Summary/Article). Many of these functions have more than one binding, some
139 have 3 or even 4 bindings. The total number of keybindings is 677. So in
140 order to save 40\% space, every function is listed only once on this
141 \guide, under the ``more logical'' binding. Alternative bindings are given
142 in parentheses in the beginning of the description.
144 Many Gnus commands are affected by the numeric prefix. Normally you enter a
145 prefix by holding the Meta key and typing a number, but in most Gnus modes
146 you don't need to use Meta since the digits are not self-inserting. The
147 prefixed behavior of commands is given in [brackets]. Often the prefix is
150 \quad [distance] How many objects to move the point over.
152 \quad [scope] How many objects to operate on (including the current one).
154 \quad [p/p] The ``Process/Prefix Convention'': If a prefix is given then it
155 determines how many objects to operate on. Else if there are some objects
156 marked with the process mark \#, these are operated on. Else only the
157 current object is affected.
159 \quad [level] A group subscribedness level. Only groups with a lower or
160 equal level will be affected by the operation. If no prefix is given,
161 `gnus-group-default-list-level' is used. If
162 `gnus-group-use-permanent-levels', then a prefix to the `g' and `l'
163 commands will also set the default level.
165 \quad [score] An article score. If no prefix is given,
166 `gnus-summary-default-score' is used. \\*[\baselineskip]

170 M-x gnus & start Gnus. \\
171 M-x gnus-no-server & start Gnus without connecting to server
172 (i.e. to read mail). \\
174 Additionally, there are the two commands \texttt{gnus-plugged} and
175 \texttt{gnus-unplugged}, which are only used if you want to download
176 news and/or read previously downloaded news offline (see C-c C-i g Gnus
177 Unplugged RET). Note: \texttt{gnus-no-server} ignores the stuff in
178 \texttt{gnus-agent-directory}, and thus does not allow you to use Gnus
