so I plug into the agent and start poking around and find
it's doing silly things with my foreign group names.
like the group
nntp+news.foo.com:alt.bar
is stuffed into
~/News/agent/nntp/news.foo.com/nntp+news/foo/com:alt/bar
kinda ok, but kinda odd and pointless.

See the variable gnus-use-long-file-name. I think.

Let me take back one of those smacks...
in .gnus:
;; No Colons to Filenames
(setq nnheader-file-name-translation-alist
'((?: . ?_)))
right from the docs of nnheader-file-name-translation-alist
In fact, this is the default value for this variable on OS/2 and MS
Windows (phooey) systems.
So I shouldn't have to set it, but I did anyway...
Group:
8: nntp+news.zeno.com:zeno.support.superprint.standard.epson
Fetching headers for
nntp+news.zeno.com:zeno.support.superprint.standard.epson...
Creating directory: invalid argument,
d:/emacs/News/agent/nntp/news.zeno.com/nntp+news/zeno/com:zeno
note the nasty colon at the end.

This syntax also does strange things under NT Emacs. the : is the drive
letter separator and illegal for use in a filename. Makes the agent
worthless under NT/95.
