Paul, why does it not let me move my lastread pointer down from the last
message in an area once I've read that message?

ie if the area has 10 messages, I can exit the area on 1..9, re-enter it
and change the current message exit and that becomes my lastread message.
If I go to message #10, while I can change the current message, when I
exist it insists I am at message #10.
  
I've so far only tested this on netmail areas.

I've also tried it on Useroffset 0 through 3, all exhibit the same stupid bug.

Later: Argh!!! I'd turned "switch uselastr" on, assuming it meant
use the lastread file. It seems to stuff it up, why?

When I change my current message, it doesn't update the areas screen to the
current lastread unread etc when I exit, only when I go into the area for
the second time does it update.

btw which Useroffset is used, the one you define in each "Name"
line, or the one down in various?

...Alex.
