What I am trying to do is ensure that if I use cygwin emacs' gnus or the WinNT emacs' gnus, I always use the same emacs files. The typical .gnus.el and so on are no problem, but I don't know how to specify the location of all the support files, draft directories, and so on. I see ,----[ gnus-directory variable help ] | gnus-directory is a variable defined in `gnus.el'. | Its value is "~/News/" | | Documentation: | *Directory variable from which all other Gnus file variables are derived. | | Note that Gnus is mostly loaded when the `.gnus.el' file is read. | This means that other directory variables that are initialized from | this variable won't be set properly if you set this variable in `.gnus.el'. | Set this variable in `.emacs' instead. `---- but does that cover everything? For example .newsrc, .newsrc.eld (any others?) are above that directory - are they covered? -- Gary Please do NOT send me 'courtesy' replies off-list.
