     Description: A reader for Reuters(TM) news summaries from Yahoo!
                  The news summary is displayed in a window (as an
                  application) or on the blanked screen (using a
                  Blanket compatible screen blanker module).  A "prefs"
                  popup allows selection of a particular setting,
                  and customization of colors (using a list, rather
                  than a color selector, in deference to color blind users),
                  fonts, time and network (proxy host, download frequency)
                  settings.  
           Notes: Uses Jon Watte's libprefs to store changed settings, 
                  Robert Polic's slider to change settings, and Jon Watte's 
                  be-sfx to play the teletype like sound in the copyright 
                  and about popups.  Does not currently support 
                  replicants. (Coming!) 
 Newest Features: talking buttons, fully implemented preferences popup,
                  Kagi registration
