By default, the Gnus puts the files under ~/News & ~/Mail, also puts
some files under ~/.

I don't think this will be convenient for me to sync these data between
my computers, one at office and one at home. So I try to put all of them
into a folder.

How can I set this? 

Thanks

,----[ C-h v gnus-init-file RET ]
| gnus-init-file is a variable defined in `gnus-start.el'.
| Its value is "~/.gnus"
| 
| Documentation:
| Your Gnus Emacs-Lisp startup file name.
| If a file with the `.el' or `.elc' suffixes exists, it will be read instead.
| 
| You can customize this variable.

,----[ C-h v gnus-home-directory RET ]
| gnus-home-directory is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.
| Its value is "~/"
| 
| Documentation:
| Directory variable that specifies the "home" directory.
| All other Gnus file and directory variables are initialized from this variable.
| 
| You can customize this variable.

,----[ C-h v gnus-directory RET ]
| gnus-directory is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.
| Its value is "~/News/"
| 
| Documentation:
| *Directory variable from which all other Gnus file variables are derived.
| 
| Note that Gnus is mostly loaded when the `.gnus.el' file is read.
| This means that other directory variables that are initialized from
| this variable won't be set properly if you set this variable in `.gnus.el'.
| Set this variable in `.emacs' instead.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
