If you tell it to mark group read, that's what it does.  The /entire/
group is marked read -- that is, all messages that PAN has seen in the
group to date.

If you only want it to mark the current list of articles as you see them,
Edit, Select all Articles, Articles, Mark Read.  

If you use that sequence frequently, I'd suggest assigning the two actions
to hotkeys.  You can reassign hotkeys by hovering the mouse over the
action, then hitting the modified key combo you want to assign, with the
exception of delete, which deletes the current assignment, and any
unmodified letter key that happens to be a menu accelerator (underlined
letter for an entry in that menu). Modifiers are ctrl, alt, shift, or any
combination thereof.  If you wish to assign unmodified letter keys that
happen to be accelerator keys for that menu, you have to edit the
accels.txt file directly (it's in the ~/.pan/data dir).  I've remapped all
the functions I use frequently, so don't even need to use the mouse in PAN
at all in normmal operation, tho I still do sometimes.
