      At least at our installation, if a user's .newsrc file
      specifies that he/she has read even ONE article in a given
      newsgroup, then the next time vnews is invoked, that
      newsgroup is SKIPPED, instead of going to the first
      unread article in said newsgroup.  This can be overcome
      by specifying "vnews -n net.xxx" on the command line,
      EXCEPT if the is a sub-specialty in the given newsgroup.
      For example, if I have read one article in net.news, then
      when I next call vnews, it will skip to the next newsgroup
      to which I subscribe.  If I specify "vnews -n net.news"
      it will automatically give me net.news.adm, even if I do
      not subscribe to it.
      Does this happen anywhere else??  Does anyone have a fix
      for this bug??
