Fair enough.

Thank you for your patience.  As it turns out, due to a faulty
infopath setting, the Emacs Info reader picked up the manual for the
version of Gnus shipped with my XEmacs 20.4 (Gnus 5.4.66, I believe)
and not the manual shipped with pGnus, and I didn't notice it until
today when I tried to follow your directions and didn't find what you
were claiming to be there.  It is all fixed now and yes, it is in the
manual.  No wonder I always found the Gnus manual a bit lacking...

Well, I /did/ check the manual.  Just the wrong version of it...
