Perhaps these have been reported before, but here goes... readnews has two very annoying bugs (features?). First, it is apparently impossible to go back more than one article. More seriously, sometimes the - command (go back one article) fails completely, not only not going back, but even skipping the current article, making two articles unavailable. This leaves one the only choice of x-iting, and then doing readnews again, skipping dozens of articles until you finally get back to the one you want. Second, certain lengths of articles when piped thru more end up just long enough so that the banner for the next article wipes out the top few lines of the screen before you have a chance to read them. Does anyone plan to fix these? Or has it been done, and our version is an old one? Thanks, Bill Jefferys (-!hao!cires!nbires!ut-ngp!bill) Astronomy Dept University of Texas
