Sure is nice to be able to go through page after page of a given group's threads, just marking them, and then memorizing that set of items to be of-interest, via ":T+". (For purpose of later browsing those threads.) Sure would be nice if we could do the same for the "choose-a-newsgroup-to-view" page, especially when you've got a bunch of groups to choose from (in .newsrc); I have some 500 groups (most of which I'll look at a couple of times a year just to see what's happening there). QUESTION: there must be a reason why this hasn't already been designed-in, since it's so obviously parallel to doing threads of a given group. Probably, at least way back then, a *good* reason. Anyone remember what it was? Also -- how much work would it take to add it to the groups page? Is there already code and callable-functions that could be lifted for the purpose, or would one have to start out with a blank piece of --- er, a blank screen? Thanks, David PS: *WHO*, if anyone, is *doing* trn-maintenance/hacking these days? ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
