      In file://~webrunner/doc/using.html under Supports Major Internet
      Protocols we say:

          <dl> <dt> news:<dd>To access your news
          reader, type the URL, news://&lt;em&gt;name of your news
          server </em>e.g., news://handler/.

      Bug jag writes:
          You should be referencing just "news:", not "news://handler/". The
          news reader gets its host name from the NNTPSERVER environment

      [weisblatt]I reassigned this bug to Lisa who's doing the WebRunner users guide.

          variable, just like the other browsers. The reason this gets so
          confusing is that the document cache ends up with multiple
          documents under different names that ought to be the same document:
          "news:" and "news://handler/" should be the same document, since
          the news reader ignores the host, but they aren't as far as the
          document cache is concerned.

      This seems a contradiction.
