When you want to power your way through a newsgroup, one strategy is
to rely on nn's default behaviour that you get by typing SPC.  The
following is pretty much the strategy I use.

MENU MODE STRATEGY
Use SPC to page through all pages of the menu, selecting all subjects
you're interested in.

MOVING FROM MENU TO SHOW MODE
On the last menu page press SPC to go into reading mode.

SHOW MODE STRATEGY
Use SPC to page through the pages of an article.

MOVING FROM ONE ARTICLE TO ANOTHER ARTICLE
On the last page of an article press SPC to go to the next selected
article.  Or you can use one of the following:

 Type    In Order To...
 ====    ==============
 n       Move to the next selected article.
 k       Move to the next selected subject.
 l       Flag this article and leave it so you can deal with it later.
 K       Kill or auto-select the current subject or author for this
         and future sessions.


LEAVING A NEWSGROUP STRATEGY
After you've read (or marked read) the last selected article in the
newsgroup, press SPC to move to the next newsgroup in your sequence
with unread articles.
