pan: ?! jump to next unread article ?!


I'm writing this by pan 0.14.2.
But NOT by reading & answering my previous pan-written article !
I had to:
1. use lynx to 'google all me recent NewsPosts [by author & date range].

2. via lynx & google fetch 'the thread'.
< google is also becoming too smart-ass like Micro$hit: they don't show
the 'Subject:' I can't find the thread in my pan-articles via date nor
authors. Below I paste what lynx/goog format looks like>

3. cutNpaste from the google archive to here.

Excuse me butting-in 'off topic', but I too have started FC1
pan 0.14.2,
and I can't get any reply to the question:
" how do I jump to the 'next/first down-loaded article", which may
be 6
groups down and 44 headers into that [unknown] group.

Ie. instead of manually stepping through all the groups & all the
headers ?

In the row of icons directly under the main menu bar, try holding your
mouse cursor over the group of four icons (each with a small green
arrow
pointing right) at the right of the word "Reading:" until a pop-up
note explaining their function appears.

Better, try reading the menu list of menu choices under the "Go" menu.
list and see if you can spot the menu command "Next Unread Group".

Better still, learn a few of the shortcut keys to the right of some of
these menus in the "Go" menu (and others). Then while reading posts,
you
might find pressing the keys "N", "Shift + N", "G", or "Shift + G",
useful.

I'd ;like to be so advanced that I was worrying about my 'sig' !
Hang in there.

Thanks but No! All 4 methods and not what I want.
While viewing eg. the 'news.software.readers', "ZOOMED" header-panel
<n> merely steps to the next header, which has not got/fetched it's
article. This is similar to <down-arrow> except that, for reasons
unknown to me, a blue-arrow also marks the 'next header'.

I don't want the next header, I DO want the next article which has
been fetched and not yet/previously read.

Better have ONE method that works, that 3 redundant extra methods,
when none work ? KISS is the solution.
Why do you write "you might find..." ?
Is this 'astrology' or is it deterministic science ?

Thanks for input.
