The purpose of using NN is "NOT to read News" - or should I say
"NOT to read all these News AGAIN" ?!

Anyway, you can read News again if you go to the group again telling nn
that you want to read them all:

G		Goto	goto a newsgroup
<group>			enter the name of the group at the prompt
a		all	read all of the articles available

If the group you want to go to is the group you are currently reading
then you can simply use the <enter> key which tells nn to use the
current group.  Notice, however, that you will enter the next level and
that nn will not keep in mind what articles you read.
