Here is my wish list for Waffle, mostly for rn! ...

     - A 'c' (catch-up) command at newsgroup level prompts.  Then you
       won't have to read a message just to 'c' catch-up on all the
       messages.

     - Support for reading old messages in newsgroups with no new
       articles.  I use /fast, so it all goes woosh and I have to
       resort to the READ command to get anywhere!

     - Support for 'p', 'P' (and probably 'n', 'N') at newsgroup level

     - A 'End of newsgroups, what next?' prompt to go with the above

     - Perhaps, instead of "Post here?" it could be expanded to
       "read (yn)?" or whatever.... it would be nice to be able to
       backtrack..

One non-rn request... when using feeds file entry with a "/batch=fido"
(or other similar), would it be possible to keep messages posted by
rnews (as compared to Waffle) from posting into the file of the
name 'fido'?  My gateway has to constantly read this file and CHECK
the news articles to see if they've been gated first... pain in the
kazoo.

Thanks for everything Tom!
