  I require a quick method of peeking at subject lines of an already
  read group... in short I'd like to skip the manual steps involved in

  1. typing g xxx.yyy.zzz    -- go to selected group
  2. typing y                -- YES to "0 in xxx.yyy.zzz - read?"
  3. typing #                -- to find the last article#
  4. typing <#-100>-<#>      -- that is, typing some arbitrarily lower
                             -- (than #) figure-dash-last article number
                             -- to mark the previous 100 (or so) unread
  5. typing =                -- to get the subject-lines list from
                             -- which a selection can be made.

  There's got to be a simpler way to do it, something along the
  lines of `.g xxx.yyy.zzz'

  Now's the chance for the real rn-macro-killers among you to prove
  your salt's worth   ;-)
