+<question>
+<para>I have installed &kde; 3, but &knode; does not exist in the
+<guimenu>K</guimenu> Menu.</para>
+ </question> 
+<answer> 
+<para>Does the <guisubmenu>Internet</guisubmenu>entry exist? If not,
+maybe the kdenetwork package isn't installed (perhaps because your
+distribution possibly doesn't do this for you); if the entry is there,
+but you do not have a <guimenuitem>KNode</guimenuitem> item
+in it, you should try to open a &konsole; and run &knode; from
+there. Type</para>
+
+<screen>
+<prompt>%</prompt> <userinput><command>knode &amp;</command></userinput>
+</screen> 
+
+<para>If an error message appears that tells you that &knode; could
+not be started or found please check whether the file
+<filename>knode</filename> exists in <filename
+class="directory">$<envar>KDEDIR</envar>/bin</filename> and that its
+permissions are correctly set.</para>

+<question> 
+<para> 
+When I start &knode;, a message appears in the task bar but suddenly
+disappears without &knode; being started.</para> 
+</question> 
+<answer>
+<para>Try to start &knode; from the &konsole; (see previous question)
+and keep attention for the messages displayed there: if they do not
+make sense to you mark them with your mouse and copy it to the
+clipboard; then, ask for help on one of the &kde; mailing lists or
+&kde; news groups.</para>
+</answer>

+<question> 
+<para>I need an important article, but &knode; doesn't have it any
+more; where can I find this article?</para>
+</question> 
+<answer> 
+<para>You can find some extensive usenet archives at
+<ulink
+url="http://groups.google.com/usenet/">groups.google.com</ulink> or
+<ulink url="http://av.com">AltaVista</ulink>; they even contain
+articles that are several years old.</para>

+<question> 
+<para>How do I open and read several articles at the same time?</para> 
+</question> 
+<answer> 
+<para> Open the article with <guimenuitem>Open in own
+window</guimenuitem>.</para>

+<question> 
+<para>My articles do not appear in the newsgroup.</para>
+</question> 
+<answer> 
+<para>When you publish an article it may be some time until your
+news server has it; wait several hours before you send the article
+again.</para> 
+</answer> 
+</qandaentry> 
+
+<qandaentry> 
+<question> 
+<para>I want to keep an article; how do I archive it?</para> 
+</question> 
+<answer> 
+<para>Choose the article in the article
+view and then use 
+<menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>Save</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
+to open a file dialog; you can then save the article to a file. Another
+possibility is to copy the article to a folder.</para>
+</answer>

+
+<qandaentry> 
+<question> 
+<para>Some set headers do not appear for several articles in the
+article window; am I doing something wrong?</para> 
+</question> 
+<answer> 
+<para>This is not unusual because many headers are optional and often
+not contained in articles; in this case &knode; does not show those
+header lines.</para> 
+</answer>

+
+<qandaentry> 
+<question> 
+<para>Sometimes I see an article which refers to other articles but
+&knode; does not show any references; why is that?</para> 
+</question> 
+<answer> 
+<para>This happens when somebody posted an article in another news
+group and checked the option <guilabel>Followup To</guilabel>; the
+article in question is then sent to your news group, but the referring
+article is absent. In many cases the poster tells the reason for his
+choice to set a followup.</para>

+<question> 
+<para>When I want to answer an article an error message appears
+telling me that the external editor could not be started, but the
+editor is correctly set.</para>
+</question> 
+<answer> 
+<para>Have a look whether you entered the place-holder for a filename
+after the editor command; if not, enter it.  If you want, for example, to
+use &kedit; enter <userinput><command>kedit</command><token>
+%f</token></userinput></para>
+<para>If the <token>%f</token> is absent, your editor cannot be
+run.</para>

+<question>
+<para>Why can I not receive data from my local news server?</para>
+</question> 
+<answer> 
+<para>If you use &knode; together with with a local news server, you
+must make sure that this server is correctly set up and started; for
+further details, please consult the documentation of your local news
+server.</para>
+<tip> 
+<para> 
+The availability of the local news server can easily be verified with
+the <command>telnet</command> program: open a console and type:</para> 
+ 
+<screen>
+<prompt>%</prompt> <userinput><command>telnet</command> <parameter>localhost nntp</parameter></userinput>
+</screen>
+
+<para>Followed by that, the news server should respond with:</para>
+
+<screen>
+<computeroutput>
+Trying 127.0.0.1...
+Connected to localhost.
+Escape character is '^]'.
+200 Leafnode NNTP Daemon, version 1.9.16 running at konqi.org
+</computeroutput>
+</screen>
+
+<para>You can quit the <command>telnet</command> session with:</para>
+
+<screen>
+<prompt>%</prompt> <userinput>quit</userinput>
+</screen>
+
+<para>If that does not work there is either no local news server
+set up or the server was not started; in this case, please consult the
+documentation of your local news server.</para>
+</tip>
+
+<para>If you are trying to connect to a news server on the Internet
+you need, of course, an open (dial-in) connection and to have set
+up &knode; to use your <acronym>ISP</acronym>'s news server; your
+<acronym>ISP</acronym> should be able to give you information about
+which news servers you can use.</para>
