Is there an app that will allow an andoid tablet to access usenet. I
have looked using Play but no luck. TIA

How is your Joe keeping?

You will not get any better than this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.piaohong.NewsReader&hl=en

Use the paid for version to remove ad's, about £3 or so.

I use juice ssh to connect to a remote shell session and run slrn.

same here, but frankly, it's probably not going to be much fun without a
physical keyboard, isn't it? (I have one but can't imagine using the
on-screen keyboard for slrn or mutt)

I find Android Usenet Reader quite good. There's a free (Demo) version
which will only access one newsgroup but the paid version which removes
this restriction is only a few GBP (or $s)

Another one which comes highly recommended by many people is Groundhog -
which is free, with no restrictions. However, I prefer Usenet reader -
but YMMV.

Yes, it's a compromise, but the key feature is the read/unread stays
synched between all my devices.

I see that it supports offline reading. If I copy Gnus-downloaded
articles from a desktop to the SD card, can this tool access them?

tin is reasonably usable with a soft keyboard that has arrow keys, Page
Up/Down, etc etc.

Mutt is OK, but editors that require Ctrl-... keystrokes are a bit awkward.

I think the "hackers keyboard" has all those features, certainly the
arrow keys in landscape mode.

I use the "Server Auditor" app as my ssh client on Android and it's
excellent for just this sort of thing - I use mutt for E-mail and tin
for usenet.

Server Auditor is set up such that Unix/Linux command line is easy to
do, Esc is an on-screen tap, as is Ctrl and the keyboard works well with
vi type key mappings.

... as I say above, try Server Auditor, it's specifically for doing this
sort of thing and Esc and Ctrl are easily accessible.
