Try this within any newsgroup: /foo (which marks say 20 threads) E reducing choices to just those with "foo" in subj. -------------------------- FIRST, TRY CHOOSING A *THREAD*: Choose ONE of the *threads* to look at. QUESTION: how to look at only *that* thread, ie without having to slog through the 10 or so that are listed above it? ANSWER: Move the cursor down to that thread, and then hit "#". PRESTO! You are now reading *that* thread. -------------------------- NOW, TRY CHOOSING A *NEWSGROUP*: Same problem as above, but with *newsgroups* instead of newsgroups (or articles). ie, DO: Try this within the newsgroup-SELECTOR: /unix (which marks say 20 *newsgroups*) E reducing choices to just those newsgroups with "foo" in name. Choose ONE of the *newsgroups* to look at. QUESTION: how to look at only *that* newsgroup, ie without having to slog through the 10 or so that are listed above it? ANSWER: Move the cursor down to that newsgroup, and then hit "#". PRESTO! You are now reading *that* newsgroup. WRONG!!!!! trn barf's on that key -- it's undefined. So, seems like there's NO (good?) WAY to choose that one group -- other than by tediously, "by hand", UNmarking the ones you do NOT want to read at this instant. PROBLEM WITH THAT: now, NO group is "marked", so to look another group concerned with unix, you have to AGAIN do "/unix", choose the one to look at second, UNMARK the others, and hit <return>. ------------------------------ PLEASE: make "+", in the newsgroup-selector, work like it (the "+") does in the THREAD-selector. THANK YOU! David
