Note: The rubynews command will fetch all builtin news feeds subscriptions  
and store all news items in the single-file SQLite `news.db` in your home folder  
under `.news/`.  
Use the space bar to browse week-by-week  
or press any other key to quit.

No magic auto-update. rubynews has no magic built-in auto-magic feed  
subscription update.  
Use:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;rubynews update # or  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;rubynews up # or  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;rupbynew u

to update all feed subscriptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cheers. Prost.
