`C-h i d m gnus RET i pipe RET ,'...

,----[ (info "(gnus)Saving Articles") ]

As for the directory you may either use `-d' or set
`default-directory':

,----[ (info "(diff)patch Options") ]
| `-d DIRECTORY'
| `--directory=DIRECTORY'
|      Make directory DIRECTORY the current directory for interpreting
|      both file names in the patch file, and file names given as
|      arguments to other options.  *Note patch Directories::.

 `(;; Set default-directory for groups where patches are posted:
   ("emacs"  (default-directory ".../emacs/lisp/"))
   ("auctex" (default-directory ".../auctex/"))
   ("gnus"   (default-directory ".../gnus/lisp/"))
   ))

Bye, Reiner.
