2.2.1 Using the Mouse and Keyboard from the Newsgroup Window



From the Newsgroup window, clicking the mouse anywhere on the window while a network operation is in progress will update the information on the screen with the current downloaded information. Once all the article header information has been downloaded and the Newsgroup window is fully populated, the mouse operations are:

  Mouse Left			Mark/Unmark an article for further consideration
  Drag Mouse Left		Mark/Unmark multiple articles 
  Mouse Double-Click Left	Select article for viewing

  Mouse Middle			Toggle the read/unread state of an article
  Drag Mouse Middle		Toggle read/unread state of multiple articles
  Shift Mouse Left 		Same as Mouse Middle

  Mouse Right			Toggle read/unread flag for this article
  Mouse Double-Click Right	Mark all articles above this one as "seen".
From the Newsgroup Window, certain keys can be used to quickly access some of WinVN's windows and menus. WinVN attempts to follow Microsoft Windows keynaming conventions whenever possible. Every menu option in WinVN has one underlined letter in its descriptive text. Pressing the ALT key and this underlined letter will perform the same action as clicking on that item with the mouse. The following table contains an additional list of keys available from WinVN's Newsgroup window:
		
  F3		Find Next
