This is a version of readnews which tries to minimise the amount of time that
other users are locked out of the topic file.

If the last message in a topic has been cancelled, checknews always reports
that there is news.  The bug is in readnews, where the news.seen file is
generated.  It should mark the trailing cancelled message as read.

I have not subscribed to TEST, nor have I ever read any of the messages therein.
My News.seen entry for test is "TEST! 0".  However (and annoyingly) I get asked
whether I want to subscribe to TEST each and every time I use READNEWS.  This is
a bug.

I was reading item 2 in a news topic.
I hit space and got item 3, but changed my mind 'cause i wanted to see
item 2 again, so i hit 'up' arrow, this worked and i space bar'd my way
through it again.
On hiting space bar on the last page of item 2 i jumped on to item 4.
What heppened to item 3? (I got there using up arrow)
Is this a bug? I think so.... fix it?

This should now be fixed.

The Path entry doesn't claim to make statements about man-machine dependancies.
It just shows who sent the message and where from.
