... 2.5 Leaving a Newsgroup


After you've read the articles you're interested in you can move to
another newsgroup by using one of these commands.

 Type     In order to...
 ====     ==============
 SPC      Go to the next newsgroup if you have no more articles selected
          in the current newsgroup.
 A        Advance newsgroup in your sequence
 B        Back newsgroup in your sequence
 G        Go to a newsgroup you specify

If you use the A or B command, NN presents the newsgroup name with a prompt
like this:

 Enter news.group (STATUS) ?  (ABGNPy)

Where STATUS is either READ, UNSUB, or nothing (which means there are
unread articles).  You can then:

 Type        In order to...
 ====        ==============
 A           Advance newsgroup in your sequence
 B           Back newsgroup in your sequence
 G           Use the G command and any of its many variations
 N           Advance to newsgroup in your sequence with unread articles
 P           Back to newsgroup in your sequence with unread articles
 RET or y    Go to the newsgroup named in the prompt


Since nn's philosophy is "no news is good news" its default is to
mark "read" any article that you saw on the menu.  If an article has
been marked read it will not be presented on the menu the next time
you start nn.  (But you can always go to all articles in a newsgroup,
including those marked read, by using the Ga command, which is
described in section 6.1 below.)
