Since jumping to a newsgroup is one of the most common things to do,
it's useful to have a macro for this.  The following macro is invoked
by typing ^j (CTL+j).  It prompts you for part or all of a newsgroup
name, and then it jumps to the newsgroup if it can (i.e., if there
are unread articles).  If it can't jump, it does the default, which
is to go to all articles in the group.

--- begin init.macros.jump ---
# Archived at ftp://ftp.halcyon.com/pub/ii/internet/nn/init.macros.jump

map both ^j (
        ?show goto-menu :!clear  #So you really can jump
        goto-group
        prompt "Type part or all of newsgroup name:"
        input " "
        prompt ""                #Clear prompt
)
--- end init.macros.jump ---

To install this macro, put init.macros.jump in your ~/.nn directory
and put this line in your init file:

 load init.macros.jump
