A friend told me to look at the full header to find out where a posting was
sent from.
All I can view is a short (about 4 lines) header.
Is there something like File | Properties that will show the complete
header?
Thanks for the help.

It is. The hard part is finding the right keyboard.

Do an Alt-k and look at your shortcut keybindings for other basic stuff.

Then explore the Main Menu structure. There's stuff you need there,
too.

And read any .txt file you find in your xnews subdirectory. That's
documentation.

Alternate for displaying full headers, if you're more mousey than
keyboardy: one of the buttons above the headers pane does the same
thing.

As most here will tell you, you don't need to know all of it.
Concentrate on the functions you will use.
