Hi,

I have recently started using gnus to read USENET news.

I'd like to write a lisp function to do the following (in "pseudocode"):

if article not selected
        select article
elif not end of article
        page article
elif not end of thread
        select next article
else
        return to summary buffer
endif

I don't really know lisp, so any code suggestions would be helpful.

Please email reponses.

Thank you,

Craig Armstrong

In *Summary* this is SPACE key.

|         page article

In *Article* this is SPACE key.

| elif not end of thread
|         select next article

old GNUS does quite poor threading, but I have got used to it already,
I don't know good suggestion for this.

| else
|         return to summary buffer

C-x o to switch buffers.

| endif

Are you sure you need lisp for this all...
Also check out the next generation GNUS(formely ding) that comes with
the latest emacs version 19.30+. It's total rewrite.

Cheers!

I have recieved a few responces, and realize my previous post was not clear as
to what I was wanting.

Basically I want to modify the default function invoked by space in the
*Summary* buffer (gnus-summary-next-page)

   Hi,

   I have recently started using gnus to read USENET news.

   I'd like to write a lisp function to do the following (in "pseudocode"):

   if article not selected
	   select article
   elif not end of article
	   page article

gnus-summary-next-page seems fine up to here, but has not provisions for
checking threading:

   elif not end of thread
	   select next article
   else
	   return to summary buffer

What I meant here was to return to the summary buffer full screen so I could
browse the subjects quicker before reading a new thread.

   endif

   I don't really know lisp, so any code suggestions would be helpful.

   Please email reponses.

   Thank you,
