I wanted to do the same thing a while back.  I don't remember who told
me how to do it, probably Larry Wall, himself!  Here's an rn macro that
creates a CTRL-C command that "junks" all the articles in the current
newsgroup.  Junking also marks articles as read in the other groups to
which they were cross-posted.  In $HOME/.rnmac, I have the line:

^C	$/\136/:j^J

The circumflex characters (^) are literally in the file.  There is a
single tab character after the capital C and before the dollar sign ($).
