[news.software.b] Undo for "k" in rn?

km@emory.uucp (Ken Mandelberg) (08/23/88)

One of my many failings is being a little too fast with
using the "k" key in rn. Is there anyway do undo a "k"?

I know "-" will get me back to the last article, where I
started the kill, but not to the other killed followups.
I also know that in desparation, I can use "x" to totally
undo the session. Is there a better solution?

I use "-" to go back to the article I was on when I did the "k", and
then type "/subject/rm", copying what looks like a unique part of the
Subject line into the command.  The "r" modifier to the /string/
search means that it will include articles that are marked as read,
and "m" marks the selected articles as unread.
