Page mode would be a good option to add to the readnews program.
Following scrolling 1200 baud text is a good way to cause eyestrain.

The Human Factor's people at WANG have done a lot of studies on
scroll mode terminals. They concluded that the jitter and flashing
was causing eye-strain and increased neverousness of the users
(see, I can't even type straight anymore!)

All of Wang's editors are page mode, not scroll mode. This doesn't
sound like a hard thing to support on terminals that could support
it.
