SP will take you to the next page. Now, once you've reached the end of the 
article, it's marked "read" in your .newsrc. If you wish to review it later, 
then use m to mark it as unread (but it's marked as "read" upon reaching the 
end once again) or M, which marks it unread and hides it temporarily, to be 
retrieved with Y or by re-entering the newsgroup.

^E takes you to the end (which also marks it "read"). ^R to the beginning; v 
to the beginning and shows all headers verbosely. g[text] allows you to 
search; g repeats search. When using g, you must start from the beginning of 
the article to avoid having it marked "read" upon reaching the end.

Hint: Use v before searching as it gives you more "real estate" after 
exposing all the headers.

If you unintentionally go to the next article after reaching the end, which 
is easy to do, use m or M to return to it (or ^E to leave it marked as read 
if you're not going to return to it), then "-" to return to the previous 
article you were reading.

I can't recall the last time we had an on-topic article in this mailing 
list! Thanks for posting.
