I just started using tin, and while I'm very impressed by it, I do
have a few suggestions and questions:

1) When re-drawing the screen, it would be nice if tin could catch
the interrupt of further keystrokes and stop the current display and
jump to that next command.  For example, if I hit ctrl-d to go to
the next page, and I hit /mystring while that re-draw takes place,
it would be nice to stop re-drawing and just immediately take and
execute the command.  It's not an issue for 9600 bps, probably, but
anyone coming in at 2400 bps feels pain during those re-draws.

2) When i c)atch up inside of a newsgroup, I frequently ended up
at the newsgroup level, but the screen would not re-draw.  I had to
explicitly hit ctrl-l to re-draw.  I gather this might be a bug.
This is on a SunOS 4.1 system.

3) I was not able to deduce how I might be able to pass through
multiple pages of posts, mark just those that interest me, and then
read all of them at once.  How do you do this?  Thanks!
