+==== How to Use new SCAN and KILL Commands ====
+  * "(N)ew SCAN"--that is, the ''N'' command-- scans the current BBOARD for NEW messages
+  * "(n)ew SCAN"--that is, the ''n'' command--scans all boards that are not on your kill list for new messages.
+The purpose of the kill list is to "unsubscribe" from boards you don't want
+to scan with the ''n'' command. Go to the board you want to ignore and type ''K'' to add it to your kill list. The next time you use "(n)ew SCAN", that board, along with any other ones already on your kill list, will not be scanned for new messages.
+To remove a previously killed board from the list and start scanning it for new posts again, ''(G)OTO'' the killed board and press ''K'' again to remove it from your kill list.
