        hi

I just have installed gnews and the gnews.info manual.
It seems great to use such a tool  to read news 
from a (very) remote site.
Nevertheless the manual is not beginner-friendly.
I know well gnuemacs and a few of elisp.
I have no time to dive in the internals of gnews.
I am the only user of gnuemacs and gnews in my site.
Given these informations, can someone give me a simple way
to mark a range of articles in a newsgroup as unread.

Is there a way different than editing .gnewsrc (or .gnwsrc.new)?

Try something like `3155-3158,3162,3166,3190-3198m' while in the
newsgroup.  If you're trying to do something more specific, describe
it, as there's likely going to be an easier way to do it.

I didn't pse the original question, but ...

I would like to be able to select a region, and mark all of the items
in the region as read.

Any ideas?

I assume you are referring to Index Mode.  Try M-m (index-mark-region).
