I have only recently acquired the capability of using the
network news system, and I would like to know more about
how the system works.

Basically I would like to know how the computers comminicate
with one another.  How is the news distributed from computer
to computer, and when is the news considered old and taken
off the system?

If there is any documentation about how the system works, how
it is controlled, and how to use it properly, I would appreciate
it if someone would let me know how I can acquire it.  Any
information on just basic use of the network news system would
also be helpful.  Thank you.
