Here's some doc from trn, uppercaseified by me, plus my own hint or two (hint to me): :cmd ** Perform a command on ALL the SELECTED articles (use :p to post). ::cmd Perform a command on ALL NON-selected articles. :.cmd **** Perform a command on THE current THREAD or its selected articles. ::.cmd ****** Perform a command on the UNselected articles IN the current THREAD. ****** (INCLUDING, in the show-via-t-cmd tree, PAREN-WRAPPED-articles) [NOTE: to mark thread "NOT YET READ", use TWO-colons-dot: ::.m] (ignore the asterisks, means importance to me) Say I'm in a thread, everything marked "read already", and that's due to my mistake -- I now want to get them all marked UN-read. Reading the above (not including my two hint-lines, lines 5 & 6), it's seem you'd use ":.", ie ":.m". But that seems to have no effect at all. However, TWO-colons-dot *does* work, eg: "::.m". Suggestion: haave the two-colon-dot doc change "unselected" to "unselected or already-read". Or am I confused? (for what I wanted to do, mark all read articles in the current thread as unread, ::.m *is* the correct thing to do? (worked for me.) Any other (preferable) way?) THANKS!
