In rn, I would like to be able to specify a range of articles to be killed
(ie,  each article in the range and all of its followups should
be marked as read).   (Actually, I want an rn mode that lists all of the 
individual subjects once and only once, rather than once per instance.  But,
this is unavailable, and being pragmatic, I will settle for an easy way
to delete superfluous topics in bulk.)

The closest I have come to this "kill a range" command is

	1000-1010j

say, to junk articles from 1000 through 1010.  The k keyword does not seem to 
work with range commands.  I think there may be a way to simulate the k
command over a range, given rn's macros and whatnot, but after RTFM, I
can't figure how to do this.  Any ideas?
