Message-ID: <3136@yunexus.UUCP> Date: 9 Aug 89 19:46:14 GMT Article-I.D.: yunexus.3136 Reply-To: tony@yunexus.UUCP (Tony Wallis) Organization: York U. CS Dept. Lines: 17 I'm in rn, and it says "*** 666 unread articles in alt.sox -- read now? [ynq]" and let's say I'm going to pick out maybe 10 of those to read from the subject lines. So I type "=" and it gives me the first 23 subjects (I'm on a VT-100), let's say numbered from 50001 to 50023. Nothing interesting, so I press space for the next 23, and so on. Then, aha, a juicy title, say at 50234, and (this is important) I want to read it *now*. So I read it. Then what ??? If I type "=" I'm back reading the earlier subject lines. If I did (for example) 50001-50023j after the first screen of subjects that works but it's an ugly solution (it also starts up 50024). Hoping there's a better way. Also hoping I'm not going to bounce the heel of my hand of my forehead in a vertical direction and moan "of course, why didn't I think of that ... "
