Okay, I'll try.  First, you add the three lines of Lisp code to
~/.gnus (or ~/.emacs if you don't have ~/.gnus).  Then you exit and
restart Emacs.

Now you create an nnml group, say nnml:todo.  Use G m to do this:

    G m todo RET nnml: RET

Now this group should be visible in the *Group* buffer.  Put the
cursor on that line.  Hit C-u a.  Fill out the message and hit C-c
C-c.  The important part is the Newsgroups line.

Does it work?  Where does it fail?  What happens when it fails?
