** OPTION=    Enter option (one of: [NEW] LIST READ).
              Option NEW lists all unread news items and prompts with
              keyword ITEM= to allow the user to select an unread news item.
              If no unread items are present, nothing happens.
              Option LIST lists all unread and read items and prompts with
              keyword ITEM=. If there are no items, nothing happens.
              Option READ does the same as list, but without a listing of
              news items.

   ITEM=      You can enter the item by name or number [First item]. This
              keyword is repeated until an unknown item is entered.
