I've developed a system for reading news
under Desqview that saves me a lot of time
and may be helpful to other folks.

Briefly, I use the following two DV macros:

First Macro
     Download a list of all "subjects" in the
     current newsgroup (using the "="
     command).  Once the list is downloaded,
     open a DOS window and use the public
     domain TED editor to edit the file
     containing the "subjects".

Second Macro
     I then scan the list of subjects looking
     for something that I would like to read. 
     The second macro then grabs the article
     number from the current line, switches
     back to the News window and types the
     number.  I then read the article and
     repeat the process.


The system is not perfect but it works for me. 
Please let me know if you have questions (I'm not a
Unix guru but I use DV quiet a bit).

Enjoy,
