It does not "forget" that you read the articles in between, however, as the next (after you see the specifically requested one) article will be the current one. Specifying the article number changes the location of '-' also. One can "permanently forget" having seen an article via the erase ('e') cmd, then '+'. However, there is a bug in the current B news which prevents you from explicitly specifying (via its number or '-') an article which has multiple newsgroups. I'm sure it will be fixed in the next release. -Jay Lepreau
