In the group list, select the group. (Click on it, so it is hilited)
In the "News" menu, select "Mark Read". (or command-M)
Then all messages are considered to have been read, so in the future
you will see only newly-posted messages.

Unhappily, that doesn't work, either. I've had them all marked as "Read"
for ages but their 'ghosts' are still there. Under 'View', I can select
"View Unread Messages Only", which is what I have been doing. But that
means you can't refer back through other posts in a thread if you've already
read them. I am sure I'm being very stupid about this and that there must
be a way to clear read messages off my screen but I can't find the way to do
it. It's never been an issue before so I'm not sure where to start.

See if you have anything relating to subscribing to urg, perhaps under a
'general properties' type heading, and look for an option to change the
length of time that you keep posts before deleting them. You monitor urg
pretty regularly so you could set that down to 24 hours or less.
