When you hit "-" on the first article in the newsgroup, you should go
back to the "0 articles in net.foobar -- read? [ynq]" prompt.
Net.foobar should be the group you're interested in.

Hit y, and you get a "what next" prompt.  Hit P (note capital) and you
should go to the last article in the newsgroup, read or not.

Please note that I work in "brief" mode, so my prompts above are a bit
different from yours.  Also, if "P" doesn't work, try "^P" or "p"
though, by my recollection, "P" is the one that doesn't care whether
the article has been read or not.

Good luck.  RN is neat!  Much appreciation and kudos to it's author.
