   In the old xrn, while you were reading articles, you could use the
   up/down arrows to scroll thru the list of articles. This was nice. Now,
   the up/down arrows scroll  the current article. Is there a way to scroll
   thru the list or is that bug/feature of the older xrn gone?

I'm not going to change the default behavior of the new xrn, because I
don't think that's the right thing to do.  However, I have added code
(which will become useable when the locker is released tonight, or
sooner if you run xrn out of the read-write volume) to make it
possible to do what you want.  You can take advantage of it by putting
this into your .Xresources:

xrn*index.accelerators: #override \n\
        <Key>Down:      next-line() \n\
        <Key>Up:        previous-line()
