Ok: read last
No items found in range
but, 'read all last' works okay. is that how picospan works?
my main questions were about how conference setup files are read.
I have some really wacky stuff in my .cfonce and .cfrc on m-net,
when I start backtalk, I get tons of errors from them, but I also see
that it's reading my grex configuration files. does it read them both?
is there a .fronttalkrc or something?
In my grex .cfonce or .cfrc files, I forget, I have colors set up for my iseps
and rseps. these work fine when I'm logged into grex, but somehow they're
getting displayed as text when I read via fronttalk. in my .cfonce on m-net,
I have a pager defined that should pass the colors okay...
I should check to see which pager is running when i'm actually paging
an item :)
it seems like my .cfonce and .cfrc files shouldn't be read at all until after
I log into an account with fronttalk, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

the Backtalk conference may be a better place for this. perhaps it
should be linked.

This turned out to be a bug in the "favorites" code. When it rearranges
item range (like "1-3,4,16,$") to put the favorite items first, it was
mishandling $ signs which were not part of a dashed range, like '1-$'.
A "read last" is just a "read $".
There will be a fix for this in backtalk 1.2.6, whenever I release that.

okay, what about the other issue? I was wrong above, this doesn't happen
until *after* I log in, but still, it happens.
if I'm running frontalk on m-net and trying to log into grex, it gives me a
bunch of errors from my cfrc/cfonce settings on m-net.
it doesn't seem like my .cfonce and .cfrc files should affect how I'm reading
things remotely.
