Whoa.. hold up there a minute Robert.  You've used what for quite a
while?  Can you spell this out at length for us intellectually
challenged folks..

Maybe describe a complete `category' and what it does.  Or how you use
this in Group params.

My aim is to use a general score file across all agent groups in
addition to each categories score component.  I'd rather not do it
with topics because I don't like organizing things that way.

Is it just a matter of saying `file' in the right place?  How does
gnus now what `file' you mean? Or does it automatically mean a file
with that group name?  If so then that is not like an all.SCORE file.
