Today I accidently typed `p' when the `[ynq]' prompt was showing in readnews. (I must of thought I was in Mail.) It appeared to move me back a couple of newsgroups and also found some articles I hadn't seen before as well as some I had. `p' is not documented in the manual pages. I am running v2.9 of B news. [Small flame on] Will people please give the version of news they are running when they report problems with news. Today I saw mention of a problem in "B news" which the author of the article expected would be fixed in the next release. Well we have had 5 versions of B news on our system (2.3, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, and 2.9). [flame off] Mark Callow {decvax!}ittvax!qumix!msc
