What does the `p' command do in readnews? Today I accidently
typed `p' when the `[ynq]' prompt was showing in readnews.
(I must of thought I was in Mail.) It appeared to move me back
a couple of newsgroups and also found some articles I hadn't
seen before as well as some I had. `p' is not documented in
the manual pages.
I am running v2.9 of B news.
[Small flame on] Will people please give the version of news
they are running when they report problems with news. Today I
saw mention of a problem in "B news" which the author of the
article expected would be fixed in the next release. Well we
have had 5 versions of B news on our system (2.3, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8,
and 2.9). [flame off]
