It's very dirty code, but now that I have something that actually works, I'm going to clean it up a bit. A very important thing I need to know before I will be ready to claim that this works: How can I (as a backend writer) toss a piece of information into the group parameters for a group? In order to maintain the UID information (stuff I mentioned a month or so back), I need to toss a random cons cell into the group info (or I suppose server info would also do--I'd just have to keep a list in it or something. I'd prefer group info, though--it only needs to be kept for subbed groups, and, well, there's one for each group, and our server has some 10000 groups...) I'll continue looking for a way, and in the meantime will keep cleaning up the code. (I'm actually using the code now to read stuff. !)
