Using pan is pretty straightforward, since a great deal of work has gone into its GUI-design. Usually, you do not want to provide any command line options whatsoever. Simply execute pan from your shell, complete the setup-wizard, and you are ready to go.

If you make mistakes, you can redo any part of the configuration by going to Edit->Preferences



Happy newsreading.
