If I try to enter a group with 0 unread articles, it askes me how many articles I wish to view or something of the kind. Read on to solve the problem of article posting you mention. There is no need to be in a group to post an article to a group. If in the Group buffer, hitting 'a' will start a news article. You can then enter the name of the group you wish to post to, using the TAB key to complete the group name. As far as mail, you can do the same thing, only with the 'm' key from the Group buffer. Other things you should know... C-h m while in the Group/Summary/Article buffers will give you mode-specific help. You should read this information, as it is very helpful and concise. Read the gnus info manual. The info system is very nice. Learning to use it will make you very happy. To get into the gnus info manual, and any other info manual, use these commands: C-h i this will go to the top level of the info system. Then you can either search for "gnus" or you can hit the 'm' key to get to a menu item, in this case gnus. > My emacs configuration file is at http://azurservers.com/gnus in case > any corrections might be necessaery in it Hopefully, this will not be necessary. -- Robert D.
