Hi,

	Instead of 'No more news groups.  Return to "inbox"?' when one has
tabbed through all news groups, how about 'No more news groups.  Return to
"inbox" or start again?' I find that as soon as I've finished reading all
the news in my subscribed groups, then there is usually new news to be
read, and I would like to be able to go back to the first group in the
list and go through them all again if I want to, otherwise go back to
"inbox". (I usually read news starting at the first subscribed group,
reading or deleting everything here, and then moving onto the next.)

	--Simon.

Assuming I have not missed something in the documentation (and if I have, 
I would appreciate knowing it!), my little suggestions would be:

1) Reduce the number of keystrokes to Delete All in a group.  I think a 
lot of us scan groups for interesting subjects and read just them.  
Especially with the recent growth in number of postings, this would be 
an *exceedingly* desirable amendment.  
   An easy way to implement would be to add a toggle ";" to the Select 
sub-screen -- hence ; ; would be Select All-Deleted.

2) Implement a Kill/Select file.  Probably emulating the kinds of options 
permitted on (for example) nn would be fine.  

3) Permit a default Sort option such that one does not have to choose $ 
repeatedly.

4) Add a Line-Count to the titles.  Again, this is helpful in scanning.

Dave,
who did NOT think he would like the pine reader, but who has been
pleasantly surprised.
