Er, well, you press `g'.  :-)

Ok, here's what I do.

In the Emacs that I'm reading news in, I start with:

(defun pgnus-unplugged ()
  (interactive)
  (setq gnus-plugged nil)
  (gnus))

And then I just read, and answer, and stuff.  I never plug in.  Well,
I do sometimes, but usually not.

In the other Emacs, I call the following command:

(defun lars-fetch-news ()
  (interactive)
  (push "~/pgnus/lisp" load-path)
  (let ((init-file-user "")
	(gnus-always-read-dribble-file t))
    (gnus))
  (gnus-group-send-drafts)
  (gnus-agent-fetch-session)
  (gnus-group-quit))

I call this command whenever I want to send/get new mail/news.
