Now the _scratch group_ says it has 598 articles. Also, the original group has no articles (I even checked the directory), but now it says it has something like 8516 articles. If I do 'G E', I see ("lists.cmucl.imp" 3 ((1 . 9249))) If I go and edit 1 . 9249 to 1 . 1, which I saw one empty group had, and hit 'C-c C-c' and 'g', the group suddenly says in the group buffer it has 8xxx articles. If I do 'G E' again, I see ("lists.cmucl.imp" 3 ((1 . 9249))) again, so my editing was "erased" somehow. I'm not going to move the articles from the scratch group back to the original group until I figure what's going on here --- after all, shouldn't the scratch group be ok too so that moving those articles to the original group doesn't buy me anything in this sense? -- Hannu
