... 2.4 Show Mode: Reading Selected Articles
After you've selected some articles, you can start reading them (go
into "show mode") by typing either SPC on the last page of the menu,
or Z. These work as follows.
Menu Page Type In order to read selected articles and then...
========= ==== ==============================================
any Z return to current menu in the current newsgroup
last SPC move to next newsgroup's menu
I usually use Z because I like returning to the current newsgroup
after reading the articles I selected. Sometimes something I read
will inspire me to want to read more in the current newsgroup. The
description below assumes that you typed `Z'.
Here are some commands for moving within an article:
Type... In order to move in current article...
======= ======================================
SPC Forward page
u Up half page
DEL Back page
^ First page
h First page and show all headers
$ Last page
And here are some commands for moving between the articles you've selected.
Type In order to...
==== ==============
SPC Go to next selected article if you're at end of current article
n Go to next selected article
k Kill the rest of this subject and go to next subject (this only
kills the subject for this session; future articles with this
subject will be presented)
p Go to article previously viewed
When there are no more selected articles, pressing SPC, n, or k, will
move you back to the menu of the current newsgroup. At any time you
can use the Z command to go from reading mode to menu mode, or vice
versa. (Z toggles between these modes.)
When you return to the menu after reading some articles you will see
flags next to article IDs. Articles that you read are marked with a
period (.). Other flags are described in section 2.3 above.
