In the *Group* buffer, position yourself over a group, and type
	S l
or you can select the menu entry
	Group -> Set group level (S l)
answer "1", or "2", and hit RETURN.

I *think* you can also use process marks on this setting (type #, when
standing on a group, and M-# to remove a mark).  If so, all marked
groups will change the setting of their level.

But I've never tested this.
