Do you mean newsticker in Emacs? If so, "M-x newsticker-show-news
RET" will display all available headlines in a special buffer, and
"M-x newsticker-start RET" will start the periodic download of the
headlines.
But if you are trying to do this in the DJGPP build of Emacs, I don't
think it will work, because newsticker uses async subprocesses that
are not supported in the DJGPP port.
