Here's another improvement suggestion for NEWS,although I must admit this one
is of pure 'cosmetic' nature.
I remember as a starting NEWS MANAGER my heart often speeded up somewhat
when clearing all items in a particular newsgroup :-).
The reason being that the NEWSMGR command 'NEWS> delete items *' makes NEWS
respond with : "Delete ALL newsitemws?[n]"
Now for us NEWS Guru's it quite clear that NEWS only refers to the items
from the currently selected group but maybe this question could be
rephrased as in : "Delete ALL newsitems in 'selected_newsgroup_name'?[n]".
I think this sometimes would be more reassuring for all those starting
news managers out there.
As I said, no big fuzz this one.
