    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
