PAN (how to set up and use)?

["Dennis J. Tuchler" <dtuchler earthlink net>]

In Gnome, I click on applications, internet, PAN and get a cryptic thing about notes.  I 
am told that PAN is a news reader.  Where can I obtain information as to how to set it 
up, establish newsgroups to be searched for notes, etc.?

Thanks
