scoring

[michael lamoureux <lamour@engin.umich.edu>]

In some randomly old version of ding or sgnus or something this
used to work:

comp.lang.postscript.KILL:
(gnus-kill "Subject" "convert\\|conversion\\|HPGL\\|->\\|filter\\|viewer\\|ghost\\|windows\\|laserjet\\|deskjet\\|inkjet\\|gs3\\|aladdin\\|acrobat\\|pdf")
(gnus-expunge "X")

I noticed today (I haven't read the group in months) that this wasn't
working anymore, so rather than figure out why, I just tried to do
this:

comp.lang.postscript.SCORE:
(("subject"
  ("conver" -1000 nil e)
  ("HPGL" -1000 nil e)
  ("->" -1000 nil e)
  ("filter" -1000 nil e)
  ("viewer" -1000 nil e)
  ("ghost" -1000 nil e)
  ("windows" -1000 nil e)
  ("95" -1000 nil e)
  ("jet" -1000 nil e)
  ("gs3" -1000 nil e)
  ("aladdin" -1000 nil e)
  ("acrobat" -1000 nil e)
  ("pdf" -1000 nil e)))


Still didn't work.  So, I tried customize score file, and it keeps
wanting to edit ~/news/SCORE.  What's that?  I thought the generic
score file was all.SCORE.  And why wouldn't the current score file be
comp.lang.postscript.SCORE while I was in that newsgroup.  When I try
to open this file in customize, it complains that this file isn't a
buffer (??!?).

related variables:
(setq gnus-directory "~/news/"
      gnus-kill-files-directory "~/news/"
      gnus-use-scoring t
      gnus-use-adaptive-scoring t
      gnus-score-find-score-files-function 'gnus-score-find-bnews)


Oh, and when I try to edit a score file, gnus says to run some
function when I'm done (sorry, don't have the name handy).  It doesn't
exist.  (And why wouldn't that function just be bound to "C-c C-c"
like everything else?)


XEmacs 19.13, gnus 5.2.15
