Wouldn't it be nice if people who have simple questions that are
answered in available documentation would read said documentation
before posting said questions to the net?
It seems to me that the command "/title/s filename" will do what you
want. If you want to mark the messages read at the same time, I
believe that "/title/s filename:j" will do what you want.
I leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out how to assign
this to an rn macro, although a hint is that you'll probably want to
look at the "&&" command. You'll also probably want to read the man
page. If you don't know where it is, ask whomever maintains rn at
your site.
