Thanks Lars, This will make things easier as I was just going down a group pressing d or k as I went. Is there a way, using process marks, to mark the articles I want to keep and then operate on the unmarked articles (delete them); or invert the process marks so that those that were marked become unmarked and vice versa? (I suppose one way to achieve this might be to mark all the articles in a group and then unmark those I wanted to keep). -- Eze Ogwuma
