Everything in that directory gets deleted automatically SLB> when the group is exited. I have found two cases where the directory and possibly its contents are not deleted. First, the rare case when an NFS link file is extant within the directory the rmdir fails. Second, when you 'X u' on a recursive zipfile subdirectories are created within the catenation directory and these are not deleted by the 'rm *' command. Actually, there is a third. If you C-g while Gnus is exiting a group but before the directory is removed and then exit the group again it will remain in the same state as at the interrupt. This is with Gnus 5.0.x; I cannot say for September (wonderful XEmacs issues :). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3 Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMS8Tkp6VRH7BJMxHAQED0gP+LNXCv3xXSBkG9n/YzOpEWbhenxvuT9BE IlnxsuEW/1W9w5XODs8GDZPogDojem0FhSGaXO+8v+GGUBjwHP/b+ZWd1GG5dkYH ERqxqSsDk3BztPbC0jrXG4pcU6jBuCxfo8IeWlF6MF3J7hgpJefNstgBG4zSfqbo k9Md6eCAHgI= =ZpXo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ Warning: pregnant women, the elderly, and PGP Public Key: Ask for one today! \ children under 10 should avoid prolonged http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/ratinox/ \ exposure to Happy Fun Ball.
