Hi,
I'm suffering from a slow dial-up connection for now - that's why I
want to set up three gnusae: one for mail (currently running ;), one
for news, one for slashdot. Any URL for a doc? Couldn't find anything
in the manual.
regards Dirk

If your primary server is (nnbla "frumple" ...) and there is a file
~/.newsrc-frumple.eld, then Gnus will use ~/.newsrc-frumple and
~/.newsrc-frumple.eld rather than ~/.newsrc and ~/.newsrc.eld.
I have tested this for nnbla = nntp. I think it should work for other
values of nnbla, though.
`Primary server' means the variable gnus-select-method.

But how can I have different .gnus files? I want cleanly separated
"instances" - three gnus-select-methods
cheers Dirk

I presume that you don't really want different .gnus files, it ought
to be sufficient to have *some* variables be different for the
instances.
You can just write a simple function which sets up the environment as
you need it. Put them into .emacs. Then you can use the functions to
start Gnus.
For example:
(defun dg-gnus-1 ()
"Sample Gnus setup 1."
(interactive)
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "sample1")))
See? Easy. Just add more statements as needed, and more functions.

I forgot to say that you could either add (gnus) at the end of such a
function, then you can use M-x dg-gnus-1 RET to start that Gnus
instance, or you use M-x dg-gnus-1 RET just for the setup, then use
M-x gnus RET normally for starting Gnus.
The second method has the advantage that you can also do M-x
gnus-no-server RET at leisure.
