... 5.2 Quick Selecting Subjects


While you are in menu mode you can quickly select each article that
contains some particular text in its subject.  To do this:

 Prompt                 Type
 ======                 ====
 <menu mode>            =
 Select regexp          text RET
 Selected N articles

The text that you specify can be plain text or an egrep(1) regular
expression.  For example, the regular expression ^ matches the
beginning of a line, so to select all subjects in the current
newsgroup, type:

    =^
