I recently downloaded NewsWatcher from sumex-aim and I'm pleased with the
results.  However there are a couple things I'd like to see/do that don't
seem to be available...is there a user manual for this app?

1) Is there a way to keep articles read from 'disappearing' from the
newsgroup directory window?  In other words if I open up a newsgroup with 5
unread postings and read them and then close and save the window, during a
subsequent session NewsWatcher won't let me open up that newsgroup again
(and look at the messages I've already read) because there "are not any
unread messages".  This is really annoying if I want to check on something
I've already read...

2) It would be nice to see the date of each posting to a newsgroup in the
article directory window without actually having to open each message.

Any help out there?

Thanks in advance      Patrick.
