Oh, cool.  I went looking for that stuff a few times and didn't find
it.  But unless I'm misreading the section it appears that something
still has to be entered into a group param to cause the agent to use a
specific score file.  Something like:

(agent-score "~/News/all.SCORE")

Would have to be entered into each groups group-params, and yes that
would do it but isn't really any different than having to enter
something in each agent category score file.

Also it isn't clear without experimentation if the group param setting
would override the category score or add to it.

When you say "It appears that it is possible to tell the Agent to use
normal score files....."

Are you refering to the same section on syntax? Or is there another
section that shows a way to tell the agent globally to use regular
scoring? 

An `s' search in gnus info on `agent-score' only finds hits in the
syntax section cited.

The mechanism of all.SCORE requires no special effort in regular
scoring right? If it is there it gets used globally.  Is there a way
to tell the agent to use that file globally too? But to let it add to
any category score already in place.
