i got them backwards... i have one frame with multiple windows inside it... gnus seems to take over the whole frame reducing my number of frames to 1 or 2 (1 for summary and 2 for preview)... either way the window with the buffer of my script got pushed back and i have to split the window again and reswitch to it... doesnt seem to me that gnus should take over a frame, rather just work within the context of its current window... let me know if i am way off here or if i just overlooked this in the docs... thanks

Gnus is designed to use the entire frame. I rather like this aspect. I
typically have 2 frames up. My shell/editing frame and my Gnus frame.
YMMV.
