Ok, so I discovered that it's possible to output to a file using O-o. This
applies the default article saver, which is set in: gnus-default-article-saver.
Choices for this are:
gnus-summary-save-in-rmail and gnus-summary-save-in-mbox.
Since emacs 23, these two are identical. Anyone have thoughts on how I
might find/create a gnus-summary-save-in-babyl?

I also discovered that it's possible to import a directory hierarchy using the
select method, nneething. I am able to create such a group using G-D, but
fail to be able to do it from .gnus using:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnbabyl "Inbox"
(nnbabyl-get-new-mail nil))
(nneething "/home/uname/BABYL"
(nneething-include-files ".*"))))
The docs are unclear about where to put the location of the directory to be
read. Does anyone have thoughts on how to make this work?
Finally, when I use G-D to define the group, it recognizes all files, but does
not understand that the babyl files contain messages. Instead it treats the
whole file as one message. This is apparently also the case with mbox
files, at least back in 2002, as one person has mentioned, here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.user/798
Does anyone have any thoughts on how this might be made to work?
Thanks!
