I wanted to create an nnml group but I see no way to do that with the new `G m' code. Typing `G m' gives me a `Group:' prompt. Already its more confusing than the old way. As I recall the old way prompt had the word `name' in it somewhere, so it was clear this was the final name being requested. Skipping that for a moment. Neither nnml:bperl nor bperl results in the desired nnml:bperl. I don't think this is really usable as it is.
