OK. Now that the easy stuff is out of the way....
I want to convert my .newsrc.eld such that the default news server
becomes a foreign server -- changing all the goups therein into
foreign groups -- w/o losing any of the details, such as articles
read, ticked, cached, etc.
Ie, I want *only* foreign groups when done.
Is there any easy way to do so in pgnus?
I suspect not, so the real question is what-all I have to do to the
eld file to effect this. Removing the default server from .gnus.el
and .emacs.el is obvious. As is changing the filenames in
~/News/cache.
I suspect it is safe to assume that anything that matches:
("\([^:]+\)"
can be changed to:
("nntp+SERVER:\1"
Yes?
Is it really that simple?
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
TIA!

Yes.

No -- you also have to alter the select-method element in the group
infos to be something like (nntp "SERVER").
