Bnews peculiarity
Now that I have figured out the -a -x "feature" I have another query.
I have noticed, and several users have complained to me, that some
articles come up more than once, even after they have been read.  This
morning, for example, we had one new net.columbia article, #10.  When
My .newsrc line read "net.columbia: 1-9".  When I said "readnews" I
got net.columbia numbers 3 and 10.
  Also, sometimes after I get "last article.  [qfr]" and exit, if I immediatly
say "readnews" again, I get more news that I had not seen.
  Anyone else get anything like this?  Our installation was according to the
docco and without incident.  (I wish everything was as easy to install!!).
