That is a problem I too have had. That I'd like a way to force pan to  
flush/sync its working buffers with disk as if it had quit. For the  
same reasons you quote, so as not to lose my place in a newsgroup  
when pan crashes. Of course it would be better if pan were not to  
crash, but even .91 can be crashed on occasion. Select a range of  
about 500,000 articles in a newsgroup, then delete, usually does it  
for me. Using the menu entry to delete all of a newsgroup's articles  
is much faster and does not crash.
