New user question??

I am a fairly new nn reader and have gotten myself into a bind.  I read
several articles in a newsgroup and then exited the nn reader.  I did not
realized until the next login that the articles WOULD NOT be presented to
me again.  I think there is a way to get them back (as long as they are
still archived at my site) but cannot find it in the manual.

Can someone out there tell me what to do to see these again, so I can save
them as I should have done the first time around??   Thanx in advance.

If your in the reading mode go back to the menu "=".  Then hit a "G"
<return> <return> <return>.  At this point you can select articles
again.

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.
