In article <4546@cps3xx.UUCP> joshia@frith.UUCP  I write:

Thanks to everyone who responded through the net or e-mail. I knew
about Pnews, but I wanted to know if there was a way to evoke it from
inside rn (which is what f,F do) directly. 

In my system if I'm at the end of a newsgroup and type f or F I get

End of newsgroup xxx.xxx What next? [npq] f 
Null articles give me indigestion :-)
What next? [npq]

The same thing occurs on the newsgroup selection level.

Oh well, guess the only way is "!Pnews".
