When I am in the article screen how do I set things up so that the article
is at the top of the screen?
It seems that by default the article is about 20 lines from the top.

Thanks,
Tom

One approach is as follows:

To configure which headers are displayed in the
slrn article viewer, you need to use the visible_headers command
in your ~/.slrnrc configuration file.

The visible_headers command takes a comma-separated list of the
header names you wish to see.

Configuration Steps

Open your slrn configuration file (typically ~/.slrnrc) in a
text editor.

Add or modify the visible_headers line with your desired
headers. The order specified will be the order in which they
appear when viewing an article.

Example configuration: This line sets From:, Subject:,
Newsgroups:, and Date: as the visible headers:

visible_headers "From:,Subject:,Newsgroups:,Date:,Followup-To"

Mine is set as:

visible_headers "From:,Subject:,Newsgroups:,Date:"

So I see four lines of headers plus a blank line above the message
body.

I hope I have understood you correctly.

Unfortunately, I don't have slrn at hand right now.

I have the headers that I'd like to see displaying correctly.
The issue I am having is that the article does not start near the top of the screen at all.
It starts quite a ways from the top when reading.

Got things working. All I had to do was hit z when in the article viewer.

Fine. But unfortunately, it's not permanent.

I have the following code in a file called "size.sl":
#v+

define resize_screen_hook ()
{
set_article_window_size (SCREEN_HEIGHT/2);
}

#v-

And "interpret size.sl" in my .slrnrc.

Obviously, I like the article at exactly halfway. How to customize
this is explained here and is left as an exercise for the reader!
