Unfortunately, with this particular directory, I always get the message: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil I have issued the command from the scratch buffer with eval-last-sexp and with putting the command in the file.el and using the syntax that you suggested. The command I used is: (nnml-generate-nov-databases-1 "C:/matteau/news/agent/nntp/msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft/public/moneycentral") On the other hand, I wrote a Perl program that generates the .overview file and the .agentview so I am OK for now.
