I've been using "rn" to readnews and recently discovered the existence
of "rnews" as a command -- although it's not listed under "info" that
I could find, nor is it in the Emacs Manual ('87) I have.

My problem when I tried using it is that it keeps thinking there are
no new articles to read, and gives "no news is good news" for all the
groups. If, for example, I have read thru article 100 using "rn" and
articles 101 and 102 are unread, then when I try to "rnews" in emacs,
is just gives me something like:

--%%-NEWS:misc.test              (NEWS 100/100)----All----------


in the bottom line; using "g" only gets another "no news is good news"

Can anyone tell me what I am doing / is going wrong?

Please reply by email if possible

Thanks,

Harel
