'-' toggles between the last two entered articles, read or not. If you
know the subject line, or even part of it, type:

/searchstring/m

and that will mark the article as unread so you can read it again.
If you happen to know the number of the article, simply typing the
number would have taken you to that article. Or, in the article
selector, type "U" to select from articles marked as read.

'<' goes back to the previous subject/thread that you just killed.  If
this was the last one before jumping back into the selector, type '+' to
quit the selector instead and you'll be at the article you read last.

Once you're in the already-read thread you can use "Ut" if you want to
mark it as unread and just 'n' your way through it again.  OR use the
arrow keys to navigate the tree to the spot you left off and use "Us"
to set just a sub-thread unread. OR you might find it more convient
to just use 'N' to navigate through the already-read articles.

Finally, if you accidentally lose a whole bunch of articles (like you
pressed 'X' in the selector accidentally) you can restore the group's
state to what it was when you started trn by using the 'A' (abandon)
command at the newsgroup prompt for the group.
