Now and then I find an interesting response to an article and want to go back to the original posting. The 'b' command will do this (eventually) if the article was on the selection menu; but not if I read (or didn't read) the article some time last week. Suggestions, anyone?

When you are reading the response, type "G<RET><RET><RET>"... This will bring you up a level to a menu which shows all articles of the same subject... -- Kurt Swanson, Dept. of Computer Science, Lunds universitet.

Which I use all the time and is absolutely wonderful, but do keep in mind that if the article has expired, this still won't bring it up. Nothing you can do about that, just don't be surprised if the original article doesn't show up, but a number of responses to it do. --Cindy -- Cindy Tittle Moore Internet: tittle@ics.uci.edu | BITNET: cltittle@uci.bitnet UUCP: ...!ucbvax!ucivax!tittle | Usnail: PO Box 4188, Irvine CA, 92716

Fortunately for me the expire problem isn't serious. Three (human) newsreaders, no downstream sites and lots of disk ... :-) Also offered by Thomas Aaron Insel <tinsel@uiuc.edu> map show B ( goto-group " " "s" '*' 'Z' ) ... which doesn't bring up a new menu but drops you straight into the articles. Thanks to all, Giles -- Giles Lean at Pro Medicus <giles@promed.com.au>
