This is the suggestion that Lars made yesterday.

But I don't want to type one set of keystrokes to enter a group with
unread articles, and a different set of keystrokes to enter a group with
no unread articles.

If I type the same keystrokes for both cases, here's what happens ...

Case 1:  Group has 5 unread articles.  I type 10 RET.

  I see 5 unread articles and 5 already-read articles.

Case 2:  Group has no unread articles.  I type 10 RET.

  I see 10 unread articles.

I want Case 2.  I don't want Case 1.  In the first case, I only want to
see the 5 unread articles.


> Doing `Y d' can be done from Lisp.

Yep.
