| Documentation:
| Directory variable that specifies the "home" directory.

This ought to work.  Take care, however, to set this variable in
~/.emacs and *not* in ~/.gnus.  In fact, I believe even .gnus will be
looked for in ~/M if you change this, due to my interpretation of
`all'...

What about the file types, though?  Maybe you have M$-ish CRLF
end-of-lines where Linux expects LF?
