Following the outline in manual as to how to start gnus and get plugged
or unplugged etc. I am unable to get unplugged and do any thing.

Still, starting gnus with M-x gnus-unplugged or even running M-x
load-library <RET> gnus-agent <RET> then M-x gnus-unplugged, either way
the same error occurs:
> Wrong type argument: stringp, nnagent-active-file
This happens whether or not I am actually on line.
The back trace is quite long so didn't include it. I did select which
servers for "agent" to operate on (mine and sunsite.auc.dk and nnml:drafts)
It seems the only way I can start gnus is the regular way, M-x gnus <RET>.
Once gnus comes up, I can see "plugged" on the mode line and am able to
do normal things.
So, tried J j (unplugged) from there-- the mode line changes to 'unplugged'
But any attempt to access an nntp group (nnml is ok) gives this message:
> Couldn't open server
I suspect some of the problem may be an attempt I made to set up the "agent
catagories" with out nowing how. Now when I attempt to access that
buffer with 'J c', this error comes up:
> wrong-type-argument sequencep non-nil
And this back trace:
> Signaling: (wrong-type-argument sequencep non-nil)
> gnus-category-insert-line((spam true nil non-nil))
> gnus-category-prepare()
> gnus-enter-category-buffer()

It seems most, on this list, are running agent effortlessly so am
assuming my cobbling is responsible.
I hope some one will contact me privately with an outline of how getting
agent to run works, that is a little more detailed than the manual.
The problems and ideas under discussion here seem at much higher level
than the basic problems I am having so would like to get some help
privately so as not to continue posting 'Howto' problems here.
The 'catagories' thing seems quite a mystery.
But can't I just run on defaults or something to see how it all is
supposed to work?
Is there a way to reset the default catagories?

Have you succeeded in getting this to work? I just tried starting
gnus-unplugged for the first time and it works for me, but I used:
(load-library '"gnus-agent")
in my .emacs file and then
M-x gnus-unplugged.
If you ever manage to get Qgnus to work unplugged for a foreign server
please let me know.

No. It would seem to me to be a problem in the nnoo code.
