I'm using 'G R' and it works (on 5.10.2).  I'll look at how it acts
with later versions (esp. CVS).

I need help agentizing nnrss -- I don't know where to begin.

But you can make nnrss look at local files instead of the network for
its RSS.  To do this, put:

    (setq nnrss-use-local t)

in your .gnus file.  Now, get an empty buffer and type:

    M-x nnrss-generate-download-script RET

This will generate a script.  Before you leave for work (or whatever)
run the script and it'll download all the feeds.  You should be able
to read on the train then.

Mark.
