Adding and reading meetings

The cursor should be next to New_Meetings. Aside from being able to move the cursor with the cursor keys or mouse, you can use the keys ``n'' to move to the next changed meeting and ``p'' to move to the previous changed meeting; as normal, ``Ctrl-n'' moves to the next line and ``Ctrl-p'' moves to the previous line.

To attend the New_Meetings meeting, simply move the cursor next to New_Meetings and type ``g'' to ``goto'' the meeting. The status line will display that the buffer has changed to the *New_Meetings meeting* and will list the number of your current transaction followed by the total number of transactions in the meeting. The main window will show the current transaction.

Similar to when the meetings list was displayed, you can use the keys ``n'' to move to the next transaction and ``p'' to move to the previous transaction. Also, ``Meta-n'' will move to the next transaction in the current chain and ``Meta-p'' will move to the previous transaction in the current chain; chains group transactions by subject. These latter commands allow you to take advantage of the chaining structure of DISCUSS\ and more readily follow the topic of conversation. Unlike the discuss client, edsc is unable to list ranges of transactions.

The typical way to add new meetings is to go to New_Meetings and then use the keys ``n'' and ``p'' to view transactions. At a meeting you are interested in adding, press ``a''; this will automatically add the meeting in the current announcement to your personal list. Pressing ``l'' will then list all your new meetings.
