Well, it appears that the error I'm getting:

        Wrong number of arguments: gnus-continuum-version, 0

is *not* related to my code to customize the summary line.  I commented all
that out, and I'm still getting the error when I try to run gnus.  This is
under XEmacs 21.1.8 on Windows NT4.

Ideas?

Thanks,

-pd
